Possessions

Thank you, good God, 
for the things I don't possess: 
fancy cars, 
expensive clothes,
a boat, a plane, a jet ski,
a second mortgage,
a divorce settlement,
an alimony payment,
a bodyguard,
a fence around my property. 

Thank you also, Lord,
for the things that don't possess ME:
drugs or alcohol,
guilt or shame,
a need to maintain a certain lifestyle
or a desire to keep up appearances. 

Thank you that I am not afflicted with wealth, fame, or beauty, in Jesus' name, amen.
