-
The water tanks are full & I know we have
enough water to do the dishes, flush the toilet, and take showers for a day
-
We have 2 dishes instead of 1 to go with our
rice. Usually for lunch, we get lentil
soup over rice and dinner, vegetable curry over rice. I feel abundant when we have an additional
dish of egg and tomato.
-
I have a mattress to sleep on because when I
sleep on hard surfaces (like floors), there’s always a huge gap between my back
and the surface.
-
I have meat in my bowl. Eating meat is something special for those who
are eating on a tight budget in India & it only occurs once a week.
-
I don’t have to wash my underwear for a week
because I have more than 2.
-
I have 2 different fruits to eat in 1 day.
-
I can stop and buy a 40 cent chilled drink if I’m
thirsty. I can afford it while many
cannot.
-
There is electricity and we can pump water from
the bore well and I can play the keyboard without wasting the batteries.
“I know
what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in
any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty
or in want. I can do everything through
him who gives me strength.” (Phil 4:12-13)
