Walk with Him Wednesday

Thank you, God, for this good life and forgive us if we do not love it enough.
Garrison Keillor

My home is warm and dry. There is enough food in my house to feed 11 people for a month. I have access to clean water to drink, to wash with and to cook with. I have a washing machine, an oven, a refrigerator, a sewage system, garbage collection, and meat already killed and butchered. I don't milk any cows or churn any butter. My life is so simple with these modern conveniences.

I can read. I have money in the bank. I can get a job. I have healthy children. I have a hardworking husband. I have transportation. There is no war in my country. My life is peaceful, I have the education and the means to acquire all that I need.

My life is more comfortable than the majority of people in the world. Help me, Lord, to remember my comfort, and to not complain about anything in my easy life. You have given me abundance and yet, I find some petty thing to complain about. Forgive me when I do not love it enough.
