My cup runeth over

I just got groceries this past Friday. Granted, I do live in an apartment so our refrigerator isn't exactly big n' roomy, but it was packed so tightly that I literally had to tape the freezer shut. It kept poppin' right open. Then on Saturday I went to a garden in at a church and picked all kinds of vegetables, carrots, cabbage, Brussel sprouts, pumpkins, gourds, pears and somethings I don't even recognize. We came home and I put everything away, most on my kitchen table in baskets as sort of an edible fall display. I've been doing my home work all day today, big test tomorrow, and I got up to go get some coffee. I walked into my kitchen and looked at my freezer taped shut and my table over flowing with food and thought of how we are sooooo lucky. We might not have a lot in the bank, we may not drive Escaldes, we might not live in a huge beautiful home, we might not have name brand clothes but we have so much, and even better, we know it.

I hope I never loose sight of whats really important, I hope I keep it real, and I hope I can relay this into my kids. Who you are on the inside, your heart, how you treat people and how you react to people are what matters. Those are the criteria we will be judged on, not what kind of car we drive or our Coach purses. I'm not saying I have any of these things mastered myself, but I'm working on it.
