'And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore...to give you—with...houses full of all good things that you did not fill' (Deuteronomy 6:10-11)
I remember hearing a fact once that if you owned a house, you were among the richest people in the...what was it...country? World?
Something impressive anyway.
We don't often think of ourselves as rich, but do we consider how blessed we are to have places to live in? Yes, maybe some of you reading this are paying mortgages or renting where you live.
But you still have a roof over your head. You aren't out on the street.
So next time we're tempted to moan about leaky taps, small rooms, etc., may we remember those who don't have somewhere to live. And be thankful we do.
