I am laughing at myself right now… because your post has CLOSETS… and I miss closets… okay I am discontent without them living here… I know not the point of your post…that is why I am laughing at myself. :)

Can I come organize your pantry?

Good Monday to ya! I’m Mary, poppin’ over from SITS to say hello. You were on roll call ahead of me this morning so thought I’d come for a visit and so glad to have found you!! Will definitely be back – I love your writing.
You know – lots of things have happened to me in the past few years that have turned my life upside down, and when I get to feelin’ kind of down and out about it all, I remember these very things.
Through all of the craziness of losing both of my parents to cancer and feeling well, orphaned in my 40s, then losing my long-held job thanks to Hurricane Katrina, to turnin’ 50 & not being able to get re-hired since {very likely because of my age}, well the Lord has provided for us in ways only He could have orchestrated in His plan for years before it all happened.
We have plenty of good food to eat and clothes to wear, transportation to get around, and a roof over our head and pretty much, that is all the ‘material’ things we need. I have grown closer to the Lord than ever in my life because my life has slowed down significantly from the demands that used to occupy it and {except for my husband on occasion lol} has become nearly stress free so that He is in the forefront these days, instead of the outer trappings. What more can I ask for?
Have a great week!

cute. i was just thinking yesterday that i need to organize my storage room and create a three month (min) supply of food storage. with today’s economy, who knows how long my job will last. so first – canned chili, stew and a 12 pack of TP… then we’ll take it from there. but i do feel blessed that i DO have a job, and food and clothing and shelter.

As Dave Ramsey says: I’m doing better than I deserve.
We are blessed.

What a wonderful reminder, Ronnica :)

Most definitely :) Often people complain they don’t have anything but then if they have what they need to survive and survive well they have much more than they need.

Nice! A very good reminder, especially in this world where people often have a hard time finding contentment with something as “simple” as having food to eat and clothes on their backs.
This also reminds me that I forgot I wanted to organize my pantry, maybe I’ll get to that today?
