Ordinary

I am ordinary.

I am not old, I am not young.

  I am neither tall nor short.

I am sitting here inside my average house.

It is neither a mansion nor a shack.

I am sipping an ordinary cup of coffee,

it is neither a Starbucks nor a Folgers.

My furniture is nice furniture,

yet it came from a thrift store.

I am thrilled to enjoy the ordinary.

If my house was raided and everything gone,

I would say,

“Eh, it was all used anyway, I can easily replace it..”

  Absolutely no material thing on the face of this earth has a hold on me.

But absolutely Every material thing on the face of this earth that I own

brings me peace and makes me smile.

I get giddy when I go to garage sales and get a deal.

I take great delight in searching for bargains

for pennies on the dollar.

Like Proverbs 30:8 says;

“.. give me neither poverty nor riches;

feed me with the food that is needful for me,”

And my Dear Heavenly Father has done just that.

I don’t need the newest car

and I honestly don’t want one.

At this average time in my life

I am satisfied.

And what an Amazing Gift from God that is.
