I worked a year after I got married. Since I got home 30 minutes before my husband, I would see that dinner would be ready to set on the table when he got home. The 30-minute drive from work gave me time to think of what I wanted to prepare and, if necessary, make a quick stop at the market for a missing ingredient. After awhile, I got pretty good at figuring out a meal based on what I had on hand. Soon, friends at work would tell me what they had at home and what could they make for dinner out of whatever. It was actually more fun for all of us to talk about how to get around what we had without going to the expense of filling in some missing ingredient.
Sort of like the world today. Too many people quit on their ideas if they don't have everything the THINK they need in place when more success might happen if they worked with what they had.
I was reminded of all then when one of my college daughters called to say they had been snowed in and this is what they had in the cupboard so what could she make. In the course of discussing an idea, she got a ride to the store but came home and decided to go with the first, 'snowed in and what can I make' idea anyway.
Hey, you use what you have and enjoy that you have it and don't stop to regret what might be missing.

You have to wonder . . .
A week or so ago, it came to light that an abortion doctor was killing abortions babies that were born alive. There was a lot else wrong with his facility but people were incensed over this . . . and I have to wonder why. Partial-birth abortion does the same thing.
The women filing suit said the doctor killed their babies while they were put under for the procedure and they were not given a choice. A choice? Didn't they originally make a choice to kill their unborn child? Didn't the doctor do what the law actually allows him to do? They didn't want the child in the first place and now they want retribution because they have a dead baby?
Now, I am totally against abortion and have to mourn over the brutal deaths of these babies but it happens every day yet the press and powers that be are only concerned with this isolated case. The world has to figure out when they want to allow a baby to be born alive and when they want it delivered and dead. I don't condone the actions of this abortion doctor but I don't see that any woman who knowingly went in for an abortion, has a right to sue him because their baby died. They went in carrying a 'wad of tissue' and are filing because suddenly they see it as a baby? The world is heading for a major downfall, if it hasn't reached that already, unless ALL life is considered LIFE and abortion doctors are put out of business.
You'd think the Catholic Church would be totally behind getting abortion out of the picture but the latest news is that they are being done even in Catholic hospitals. The daily news is certainly not something to cheer up one's day, anymore.
One saint said we need to pray without ceasing anc that is certainly becoming more true every day.
