What is your wealth?

Lately, I have been focusing so much on what I want and my plans for the future, that I haven't been taken enough time to thank God for what I have. But I am thankful. I went to the movies tonight with my sister in law, I know I said previously that I was not going to hang out with her, but she is family, and she is a good person. Afterwards, we stopped by Friday's which was full of entertainment, drunks with fake boobs, yelling matches and drunk people getting kicked out by security. But, I met this waiter Albert, and he was telling me about his son, back home with his family, and his girlfriend here, he said he planned to go to College but had not yet enrolled, and as I questioned him more, the clearer it became that he didn't know what he was going to do. He has a four year old son, and it just so happens that he left home four years ago, but he talks to the boy on skype. He told us the story of how his father had six wives and 22 children, and his father takes care of them all (financially). He boasted that out of the 22 children only one smokes and drinks. But it seems to me that if the father was setting such a great example, why isn't he following his footsteps? It was sad to me, I couldn't be one of six wives, giving my all, while I am only getting 1/6th in return, negro please. I don't want to share period or we will both be sharing,  and if that's how it is going to be then why be married? I am not down with those cultural differences, not judging, but no way, its not for me. I am an AMERICAN WOMAN, born and raised, and I want a provider, but I want a friend, lover, husband, and involved father, I am so happy I don't have to depend on anyone by God to take care of me, and that means I don't have to sell my soul or body to receive His blessing, (Jesus paid that price for me).....Preaching (LOL)

 But, I don't know how people could skype their babies, I was so thankful for the time to go on the "date", but I was also so happy to be going home to my parents and my big headed baby. I was excited to just Thank God, that I am not going home to an empty home. I am happy and thankful, that I can pray to God, talk to God, listen to God, sing to God. This is my wealth. I have the FREEDOM to do that. I have the chance to start over, with a more discerning spirit. I can hug and kiss my parents who are both still alive and well. I can laugh with my baby girl, and hold her, and sing to her (even though she laughs). She is in the bed with me now, she was head butting my arm as I was typing this, and she looked at me with those big pretty eyes as if to say, I am trying to sleep mommy. I would stop typing and she would put her head down, and then it would pop back up as I began to type again. Hilarious. I love these little moments. Here is where my wealth dwells. I am overflowing with, and surrounded by LOVE.
