Thursday, December 30, 2004 - Prosperity

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for prosperity. After S lost his job, I doubted that we would make it through the year without dipping into our savings account, but I kept the faith and we did. As a result, we gave a more generous cash Christmas gift to our neighbor boys (we adore them) and donated money to Mercy Corps to help the Southeast Asia tsunami relief efforts.

Our home is still overflowing with the stuff of a nearly 18 year occupancy, so my goal in 2005 is to declutter and give away what we don't use, need or want. Gandhi's statement, "Live simply so that others may simply live," has become my battlecry.

For this blessing, I am very grateful.

Amen.
