I don't have........

I don't have a big huge mansion, or even an extemely nice and roomy house............
..........I don't have the kitchen of my dreams.................



.....................I don't have a fancy car..................







.......I don't have fancy jewelry.........







.......I don't have all the clothes I want.........

....I don't have the closet or the space.............


...............I don't have a huge supply of food storage or a way to organize it.........



.........it's easy to get caught up in all the things we don't have and it's easy to be green with jealousy and want, want, want.



Here are some more things that I also don't have...............................








......I don't have to live in a hut........


........I don't have to worry about disease and infection..........





......I don't have to flee for my life and stay in a refugee camp........


......I don't have to walk for miles and miles for food, water, and safety.......


.....I don't have to worry about my water and if it is safe to drink.......

.....I don't have to walk to a well to get water......





......I don't have to worry about my children dying of hunger, famine, or disease.......





These are the things I don't have.
