Tomato and Basil

Mmm, mmm good. It's not Campbell's but tonight we are having Tomato and Basil Soup with Mozzarella covered sour dough garlic bread. I am trying to get back on track after a weekend of utter failure in cooking at home. We had so many things going on and time alluded me...ok, so it didn't, it was all my bad planning. Anyway, we ate some fast food and quick stuff that only made me feel terrible. I think I had detoxed my body from all that junk so it did not even taste all that good.
Maybe it's really the fact that I've been thinking a great deal about how blessed we are. Very blessed. And so, the whole eating out and buying this and that just makes me feel bad now. I feel much better being content with what we have already and to feel even better decluttering or repurposing something makes me feel like I am doing some good for my family. We've been bogged down for years under all these material possessions and it is so good to find a new home for them with those who are less fortunate than us.
You wonder how I can feel that my life is good with all the troubles Hal's job loss has brought to our door? Well, I just know to recognize what God has given us and knowing He will be faithful to us. We have a lesson to learn. I think we've come to see some of the lesson but we still have some way to go.
Yes, we have bad days. Yes, we've made some poor choices but yet and still God has always provided a way out of those.
There are so many blessings in our life to counter act any of our bad days. I just have to remember to look for them. So, today it's Tomato and Basil and it's good. :)
