Perspective

Something I need to keep at the forefront of my mind:

The money I received when I returned a dress to TJMaxx just because I decided that I didn't really want it, after all.... pays for two months worth of my promised donation for diapers for a young woman who chose not to abort, and has no steady income.

Two months.

This is not a "pat myself on the back" post. (because, really, my donation is a very small part of the larger effort in motion to help this woman) But a real reminder for me that what I may deem a necessity in this consumeristic culture, is a very real luxury for most folks, and I need to keep those situations in my thoughts and prayers constantly.

And, looking at things quite frankly, it's probably a luxury for my family too.

I need to be a better steward of our blessings.

Yet another resolution for me to work on!
