Just tonight at dinner my husband and I were talking about first world problems. It came up as he was getting frustrated with his cell phone as he was trying to text someone. Since one of my friends brought this phrase to my attention this summer, I have realized how many of our problems are first world. It is a very fresh perspective, and challenges me almost daily now. I have been dealing with a health issue this year, and even that has convicted me, for in a first world situation, I probably would have died from infection a long time ago. God bless you in your life and family as you follow the Great Commission in PNG!Sandra Tollisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182155880826173963.post-38062223775769581752012-08-12T07:45:50.292-07:002012-08-12T07:45:50.292-07:00Anonymous,

Type this in your search line: <br />free food [your city] help<br />See what comes up. You should find plenty of access to food pantries, shelters, and services. <br />God bless you, I pray that your situation improves and that you get the help that you need.<br />-JakeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101383095735968623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182155880826173963.post-90761256785127980592012-08-10T11:04:02.702-07:002012-08-10T11:04:02.702-07:00My first world problem......I need to be in PNG. ...My first world problem......I need to be in PNG. I am a disabled widow on a fixed income and in the first world I don't show up. No one knows that I have few pots and few plates of that I eat only one meal a day. (crackers and cream cheese..luxury..PBJ,Bread and Butter.<br />Not only can I not keep up with the Jones's I have no chance of even meeting them. <br />If I could only be in a place like PNG I would be percieved to be somewhat wealty but the twist would be that what little I have could be shared. Someone there might be interested and blessed by it. After all....I really only need one pot and one plate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182155880826173963.post-320989481438130822012-08-02T15:20:18.084-07:002012-08-02T15:20:18.084-07:00Jared, awesome!

Well, I did miss the UPS man delivering my most recent Mary Kay inventory order because I had Mary Kay appointments where I sold products. It's all good but now I have to wait in my air conditioning until it comes tomorrow. Which BTW I have 5 facials left today and one for tomorrow. Facials generally mean sales. Thanks for praying for my MK business! God is busy keeping me busy. I love your blog. You are a gifted writer. The mom in me wants to fly to PNG and serve God by making your life happier. Instead I have to settle for praying for y'all. Which I do on a regular basis.

I don't know if I am just an oddball, but I feel like such a killjoy sometimes when watching the superbowl or macy's parade or olympic opener and think about the money dumped into it and who could be helped. Sometimes I think people get tired of hearing me on facebook encouraging them to step out of their comfort.

We don't have enough space in our inside refrigerator to hold all of the food, so I have to walk back and forth between the house and the detached garage (where the other fridge is) while cooking diner. Also, (and you'll love this one) they were out of Reece's peanut butter at Kroger, so I have nothing to dip my Dove dark chocolate in. <br />Yes, we are a whining, selfish bunch, for sure. Clearly, I will not be complaining about the above mentioned irritants anymore. (Our certainly, not as often our with must passion!)As usual, your blog is a ministry and a blessing in itself!
