Vance Havner said, "We grow up taking things for granted and saving our flowers for the dead. All along the way, countless hands minister to our good, but rarely do we acknowledge them."
Today, I was reading some "stuff" on Facebook and saw a picture of an "Out-House" and the caption read, "How many of you used one of these?" We are now in 2023 and less than 60 years ago, this nation had a vast amount of people still using "Out-Houses."

Can you fathom going outside when it is raining, snowing, or literally freezing and going to an old fashioned "outhouse?" Well, it was not that long ago, when that was the norm for many!!!
Yet, we act as if life has always been this easy. I don't know about you, but I have so many reasons to be grateful!!!
The little house that we lived in when I was a kid only had a total of six small rooms, with one small bathroom, with no bathtub or shower. I don't know about you, but most of us have forgotten how good we have it. Who could even fathom living like that, in a house with four small kids in elementary school?
Yet, we act as if life has always been this easy. I don't know ...
