Gratitude

So me and Dan have had to get really creative with our organization habits while living in our condo. Things are tight to say the least with this many people and toys in our once big space, now very small space. :) Now you might be asking yourself, Beth why don't you just sell your condo and buy a bigger place. I would love too, but we have to work off some of our debt before we can qualify for a loan. So we've been kind of bumbed about our finances. Well I was quickly humbled and was quick to remember how blessed we are when the other night we heard a little knock on our door at 9:00 pm. We opened the door and this cute little girl who was probably 6 or 7 (her Dad was with her) was standing there with a bucket full or bread. On the bucket it said "I'm helping my Dad" She said that her Dad had been out of work for a long time and that she was helping there family earn money by going door to door selling bread... commence tearing-up eyes. Me and Dan bought some bread from her and her Dad and wished them the best. We closed the door and all I could say is "wow, we have nothing to complain about it, absolutley nothing." I felt very humbled and everything the Lord has blessed our little family was brought sharply into focus. I am grateful!!!
