Prosperity Looks a Lot Like Family
When I first thought about the feeling of being prosperous, I saw it as a money thing. But then I realize that feeling prosperous to me is a feeling of love and respect.I have felt more prosperous when I have positive feedback from friends and relatives. I have six grandchildren, and have felt extremely prosperous when I get loving and positive feedback from them. I have been blessed with having them all residing close in proximity to me, and that has made it possible to have a close relationship with each one of them. It makes me feel extremely prosperous when it is their desire to spend time at Grandma’s, such as sleepovers, shopping trips, picnics, trips to the park, or just hanging out with me.

Almost Prosperous
There have been times in my life when I thought I was this close to having it all together. I’d finally have the bills paid and a little money in the savings account… and then the car’s check engine light would start blinking and making a funny noise. I’d be feeling good for a week—eating better, getting some exercise—and then I’d have a doctor’s appointment and they’d say something “looks concerning.” I’d clean the entire house, light a candle, pour a glass of wine… only to see a mouse run through the living room.
