Bubble  TL Leatherman


As I write this, I have $3.10 in my bank account. I do not have a car. I need a car to do my job. I am months behind on my rent. I am not sure whats going to happen. I have been like this for a while now. I have been living on faith and I always seem to have what I need in the nick of time. Although, I have to admit, it is beginning to wear me down.
I don't reveal this for pity or a loan, but to make a point. There are so many people right next to us that are in need. It seems like we live in a bubble. In that bubble, we get upset about bank charges and how long we have to wait at the Doctors office. We are devastated at the ding on our car door. We think about important things, like shopping. There are all kinds of statistics about how much we waste in this country.
 That is not going to change anytime soon, unless we adopt an attitude of thankfulness. The more stuff we get and are able to have, the more we forget how blessed we are. Right now if I had the problems I mentioned above, it would mean I had money in the bank, health insurance,  and a car, none of which I have. I have to believe that God will deliver me from this situation in His timing. My prayer is this;" Lord, never let me forget what you deliver me from. Help me remember by sharing my blessings with others in need, not just as I stumble on them, but let me seek them out."
