i cant help but wonder why the cost of health care is so out rageous. today i found out that my health insuarance is taking a huge hike. so much for having any extra money to have a life with. how are we supposed to be healthy when we cant affordd to eat healthy. it makes me wonder for those who don't have jobs how they are able to live. I have a home to live in and a car to drive. i have insurance (be it ever so expensive) but the rising cost of living in this country has gone crazy. Two people working full time and still barely getting by. doesn't seem right to me.
i cant help but wonder what i am doing wrong. what have i missed. when did the solution pass me by and why cant i go back and find it.
i find myself thinking of the way life was before i was born. in the 50's when life seemed to be simpler. when we didnt' want for electronics, movies , air conditioning, computers. all the things taht we have to day that we think we cant live without. Would it not be so nice to go back, back to a time when people visited on front porches, drank lemonade and ate homemade chocolate cake. when milk and soda come in glass (recycable) bottles. when families gathered around the radio to listen and mom stayed home to be a mom. When food was cooked with love and time and not from a cardboard box. when a treat was going to the general store and having an ice cold coke at the drug store. A time when the barber was your friend and your neighbor helped you fix the roof of your barn and didn't expect a paycheck for it, because he knew you would help him in return. Back to a time when kids walked to school and did chores before running out to play with neighborhood kids til mom called them in at dinner. To a simpler time when families read the Bible and tried to live by its words. When they went to church together and invited the preacher and his family to sunday dinner Oh the simpler times that have passed us by for a hussle and bussle of life in the super fast lane.

Lord i know that you wont ever give us more than we can handle. Sometimes i don't think i can handle much more but thank you Lord that you help me through daily. I love you lord.
