Thank You Lord for what I have and for what I don’t! 🙏🏻

If you can’t be happy without a bunch of stuff y-ou probably won’t be happy (even) with a bunch of stuff.🤷‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

After a full 2 weeks on eBay looking for the deal of a lifetime on a camera coma at least a decent deal that’s a you’ll that’s affordable to me and make sense, it’s, I ended this stretch by doing a “buy it now” on a scam. Well, the camera is in Selo Kilmez, Russia. Day over there is night over here. I thought about staying up just in case an offer finally came though though the seller didn’t seem particularly particularly open a responsive to my requests for an offer. I remember looking at the time around 10:20 PM, shutting off the TV and going to bed. Sometime after I went to bed I received an offer of a $150 discount. I woke up at 12:13 AM and checked my phone and spotted the offer in my email. When I opened up the eBay website to accept the offer it said the item had already been taken. Along with the offer was a message saying here is your offer you have requested and I hope you enjoy and find the camera a delight. Somebody else took advantage of the purchase at 11:44. Initially I was unhappy, even depressed. But then I got to thinking about calling eBay and noting my disappointment (old behavior). Then the principles kicked in, the ones I’ve been touting on this website for several months:

•People simply doing what people do [man is an opportunistic creature] often with little regard for, or at the expense of their fellows

•Don’t look for human sympathy

•Be happy for others by practicing what you preach

•Be thankful to the individual who gave an even greater discount ($150) in an already awsum deal @ $1950 for a a7r iii in almost new condition 4390 shots only. + the FE 4/24-105 OSS lens valued @ $1398 on b&h. Offer $1800.

•Be thankful to God for what HE has given you and what HE hasn’t given you. For everything there is a reason. And every reason can be put to good turn.

•Be grateful to yourself for working so hard on a deal, and perhaps someone in greater need will be able to benefit from.

And there you have it!
