TATTOOME

Yo, Bob went up with his brother Randy, to see their dad. Betty is home with FIVE broken ribs. Ouch. The poor thing holds her chest as she walks. I am just so glad it wasn't worse. Amen. So Betty's kids are caring for her down here, while her hubby is on the ranch up in the mountains. And this Wednesday is their anniversary. Bob and Randy went up and took dad out to eat, and tend to chores. They even got to ride not horses this time, but the four wheelers. They were careful. I stayed home to clean and go to church. Church......it was good. It had me thinking. Greed. Greed is a very bad thing. Us as humans are so into wanting more, wanting bigger, wanting the best. Better than our friends. Greed. How stupid. We can't take it with us when we leave this earth, so why do we have to be big show offs? God wants us to be humble and live meekly. We don't need the fanciest car. We don't need the big house, in the expensive neighborhood. We don't need the plasma TVs. We don't need the big and the best. Look at us. We are greedy humans. We like to show off.
How sad that must make God. I learned a lot today at church. Bob and I rent our home. Its only one bedroom, one bathroom, with a shower, no bathtub. A very small kitchen and no garage. But we love it. Simple. We live on 5 acres, and our landlords have four cows out back. I yell "Hi Cowgirls". I look out our front window and see a pasture full of Arabian horses across the street. I love it. Yes, Bob and I do want our own house to own. But, I just want simple. Enough, not more. God knows what we need. And He provides. He is the God who Gives and Takes away. Have a blessed week....love, Gail
