Define well off.My dictionary defines a properous person as well off, thriving, successful. In many people's eyes I am none of these. Mrs Average Achiever.I was at school with two rock millionaires - both instantly recognisable faces, one of which seems to be on our televisons almost every day, and if I were in the U.S.A. the same would be true of the other. They can measure their success in millions. One at least has an apparantly happy marriage - though all his children have been in therapy and his body is so damaged by years of abuse that his speech is often blurred. The other is so concerned with his privacy that I
don't even know if he has ever had a child or been married. Is that
success?
At the moment I am awaitng further tests for possible ovarian
cancer, but I do have a happy marriage and two daughters growing up with a real faith in our Saviour. In a few weeks time we are off to France
to support the church there in a small town in Brittany - God still
has a purpuse for me and in the garden today three different geraniums
came into flower, a blue tit flew down and butterflies danced.I am
truly prosperous, whatever comes next.
I could conclude with a Bible verse, but which would I choose
- how about Ist Chronicles 29 and 12 'Both riches and honour come of
thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thy hand is power and might;
and in thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all'KJV
