Gratitude challenge day 4... internet

Today my post is a lot less spiritual and a whole lot more practical... 

In keeping with Brenda's 30 day Gratitude Challenge, today I am so very thankful for internet.   I often take things for granted until they are taken away and then I am sooooo very sorry I wasn't more grateful!  

I got home late last night from Bible study to see a note on our kitchen counter with our Sprint Broadband card sitting on top of the note...

DO NOT USE!!
WE ARE OVER OUR ALLOTTED DATA

ouch!  Not use the internet?!?  I'm always using the internet... and apparently I use it a bit too much. ; ) 

So, I'm logging in from McDonald's on this gray day to say I am so grateful for internet and tomorrow when our month's data allotment starts over, I will be very grateful for internet at home again.

  2. Oh, Heidi, we do take these luxuries for granted, don't we? It's amazing how much I rely on access to the internet. Glad you're able to share from McDonald's and thankful to be thankful with you! :)

  3. I totally understand where you are coming from as far as internet being a huge blessing. My computer died and didn't have access for four days until we decided to get another computer. WOW! It's amazing how often you use this, especially as a homeschool mom.. :)

  6. I totally take internet for granted until it goes down. I would be in trouble if I received an allotment for our internet. ;)

  8. I am so reliant on the internet. I love that I can do an hourly drive by and check in, so to speak. Almost all of my true friends, and much of my family are so far away - but with a few clicks, we're always connected. It's amazing how much it has changed my life. I'm glad you "reset" tomorrow!
