SIMPLE THINGS

In the past, I had to be out of the house everyday. I was bored at home. I didn't like staying home. Now, I have a new appreciation for my home.

I have a greater appreciation for the simple things. I don't need to have something new every week. I don't need to eat out every week. I look at what I have and realize I have more than enough.

Everyday I teach my daughter to be happy with what she has. Whenever she sees a new toy on TV, she asks me if she can have it, then after a few minutes she tells me it's okay if she doesn't buy it. When we set aside her small clothes and her baby toys she tells me, "Mama, are we giving those away to kids who need it?" She doesn't resist it, she's happy were giving it away.

Mika has a kind heart. I see it as her mom. She loves to share. I want to be like her. I'm learning a lot from my little 5-year-old.

Let's share, with a thankful heart. I"m sure all of us have more than enough to live. God is good, he provides for all we need. Let's help provide for the needs of others.
