I stopped into a grocery store this morning before church. I took it all in as I walked to get my items. Refrigerated cold chocolate milk and a box of delicious entenmann’s doughnuts. I saw the books and magazines full of information and entertainment. I saw soda pop in any flavor imaginable. I saw every type of salty and sweet snack my palate could crave. There were fresh meats awaiting preparation. All sorts of things needed to make my life easy like, toilet paper, light bulbs, ziplock baggies and sources of fire.
I heard a story about a well to do Russian lady who was taken by American friends to a farmer’s market in Atlanta. As she walked inside, tears flooded her eyes and ran down her face. When asked what was wrong, she answered, “Never in my life have I ever seen so much goodness in one place.”
We have it very good.
