When we were kids, we had just enough clothes for everyday of the week. We had school clothes, play clothes and church clothes. You never wore your school clothes to play in or vice versa. I thought that was just the way it was, so I never thought anything about it.
My Daddy and Momma were really hard workers. As I look back I know now how they must have struggled to provide for my three siblings and I. I have two older sisters and a baby brother.
One thing I can say for sure, we didn't always match, but we were always clean and ironed. Momma even ironed Daddy's handkerchiefs.
I can remember in third grade I needed a new pair of shoes. Somebody gave them a pair of little boys dress shoes. Well...they fit me. I was just getting to that age to notice that kind of thing. You know how cruel other kids can be. I don't remember every complaining about to them though. I guess I was just happy to have shoes.
I always loved getting a sack full of hand me downs though, and I still do really. Not that I don't enjoy the blessing of the new ones God provides for me. I think I'm just now figuring out why I am the way I am.
I'm a little bit of a clothes hog and I LOVE shoes. As I was getting dressed this morning I was thinking about all this. I was pushing on those clothes as hard as I could to get them back to hang something up. MAN.... I'm blessed!!! I HAVE because I GIVE!! I'm not stingy one bit!! Never have been, pray I never will be.
I'm so grateful for all HE does to provide for me and mine.
Just thinking.... LoL
Y'all have a GREAT day too! BlessingS
