Amen. It is ALWAYS good for me to read articles like this one, to remind me of my ungreatfulness, of my discontentment with what I DO have.
Thanks for the reminder and another great article!!!

OH, and I love P. Tripp. He’s good

Thanks for sharing that perspective, Rebecca. It must be interesting to be able to compare cultures in that way.

I know discontentment will always linger in my heart. But, I have truly been blessed for this past year to live in a culture that is far less commercialized than the US. There is not a strip mall on every corner here. In fact, it takes a lot more effort for me to go to the shopping mall, so I just don’t go. I don’t get the Sunday paper with the hundreds of fliers of “good deals.” And perhaps best of all for my wallet, there is no Target around, so I don’t have a store where I walk in for one thing, and end up spending $100. It’s been refreshing to get out of the world’s progress for a time to see what my family truly needs and values (which is much less than it used to be).
