Today I find myself wishing for less...
- less poverty in the world
- less weight on my body
- less flies landing on my face
- less children dying
- less hatred
- less clothes in my closet
- less gossip
- less rain so that my clothes can dry on the line
- less malice
- less stuff to pack up before home assignment
- less scorpions in my house
- less flooding in our house back in Virginia
- less flooding in our house in Cochabamba
- less water balloon throwers during this ´Carnival´ season
- less papers on my desk
- less waiting time for all my friends trying to adopt
- less distance between me and my oldest two kiddos
- less pain in the world
- less talking bad about the other political party
- less emotional moodiness from me
- less harsh words spoken too quickly
- less worship of false gods
However I am grateful for more....
- more than enough money to provide food, clothing and shelter for my family and to share with those in need
- more kids than most people have....each such a blessing for me
- more friends than I deserve
- more in love with God than ever
- more than enough good chocolate, tea and coffee to share with my friends
- more time with my husband than when we lived in the States
- more dreams for our ministry here in Bolivia
- more passion in my life
- more than 70 monthly supporters of our ministry
- more Spanish language than before
- more time with my kids than most people have
- more than one set of clothes which is way more than many people in the world
- more books on my shelves than I can read
- more room to grow in my relationship with God
- more love that covers a multitude of sins
- more missionaries going into the harvest
- more ways to keep in touch with friends and family than in other times
- more compassion for those living without hope
- more laughter
Here´s wish you less and more too!
