Last weekend Sierra had a few friends over for pizza. They did not eat nearly as much as we expected which resulted in lots and lots of leftovers.
I have eaten leftover pizza 3 or 4 times this week.
Yuck!
This morning as I was planning my day a trip to the grocery store felt both necessary AND impossible. My schedule was full - but if I didn't stop at the store we would be forced to eat leftover pizza AGAIN! I really, really did not want to eat pizza again.
And then it occurred to me. . . most of the world eats the same thing every day of the year. Every! Single! Day !
Put into that perspective, my "empty" fridge looks pretty full.
In the end, Mataya and I ate that "yucky" pizza for lunch, and once I changed my attitude from greedy to grateful, it didn't taste half bad.
Only in America would eating pizza leftover for lunch become a crisis. I am truly ashamed of my own attitude of entitlement.
Forgive me, Lord, for the times when I am not grateful for the way You have provided. Thank You for ALL that You provide. Create in me a grateful and content heart, Lord. You are SO good to me.
