Dear Younger Me,
It’s fun to buy new school supplies, but when you don’t get all brand-new school supplies, choose contentment. When Mom does let you pick out some new things, cherish it all the more. But learn the way of contentment and stewardship as you use the folders and pens and such that you’ve used in years past. Really, if they’re still good, you don’t need to buy new ones. It’s fun to start the school year off with something new, I know. But it doesn’t make or break your year. And someday you’ll appreciate that Mom asked you to use what you already had because it saved money. And the stuff you have really is still usable. That’s being a good steward.
Love,
Megan
