God Made Moms To Teach...Be Grateful For What You Have
Good Day Ladies! I just returned from a beautiful cruise with my husband to Cozumel in celebration of my 40th birthday. It was very relaxing and the weather was perfect. I thought I would share some of the things I observed while on the cruise and while in Mexico. I observed people from different cultures and classes enjoying each others company. I observed people from different countries serving some ungrateful American families with a smile. I observed a culture of people going without the everyday luxuries we take advantage of. I observed some people spending their hard earned money to make quick money. I observed people working hard and not complaining about others being too lazy, too messy, or too stingy to leave a tip. I also observed people enjoying life with the simplest of things. I observed life in motion outside of the United States and I can't say we live better lives in comparison to others outside the US, because we do tend to be so ungrateful for all the good things we do have at times. So my tidbit and plea for today is to be grateful for what you do have.
Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine

This blog is meant to encourage moms through words that are full of encouragement and some times full of rebuke. My "Tuesday Tidbits" are weekly posts that originated from conversations I've had with moms at a play-group I started for brown kids last year. Please enjoy and feel free to comment, the majority of the things I write about are personal struggles or victories :)~ Delphine
