Counting the Blessings

I am in awe at times when I see the waste around me. Seriously, do we need one more "thing" in our homes, the need for extra storage and extra closet space and extra cars and just every "thing". Why? Are we so lost in our world of the latest and greatest that we have lost sight of the fact that big box companies thrive off of our debt and misery? Next time you buy a non-consumable ask yourself one question - "Do I really need this to live?" and then ask yourself where does your happiness come from. It is in the purchase of the new toy or electronic or is it in the life and love of your purpose? Put down the charge card and step away from the counter.
