The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Thankful
Thank you, Jesus, for the high price of gas which causes me to rest and work at home.
Thank you for the never-ending parade of reciepts from the grocery store, because they mean that there is food to buy and that my family is well-fed.
Thank you that there is a flow of money going out from my accounts to buy clothing and shoes for my children, for they are healthy and growing.
Thank you, Jesus, that I have a power bill to pay, for there are many without the convenience of electricity.
Thank you, Jesus, that I have a water bill to pay, for there are many who have to walk far and carry heavy loads of water that isn't even clean.
Thank you for my mortgage payment as every month it reminds me of the incredible value of the home you have provided me.
Thank you for the many opportunities you've given us to give of ourselves and our finances, to share your wealth with others. We are grateful.
