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.
