That stimulus check though...
As soon as we got it, I had this sudden urge to do things for others. Like yeah I wanted to buy things for myself, my kids, or whatever but I already do that (thank my Creator for financially enabling me to do these things already) but this time any person on Instagram asking for donations, I was like what’s up let me get your Zelle real quick. I’m not trying to front because it’s not acceptable to front charity like that in Islam, but like I that emotion I felt when I got that deposit made me feel really proud of myself....
It’s because I felt like I have everything I need in my life..like this money makes no difference to my level of happiness; so, if I don’t need it, than maybe someone else does? You feel me?
I have clothes that are decently cute
I have my bills paid (my hubs works and pays the bills)
I have enough toys 🧸 for my babies
I have two cars that work perfectly (we are actually trying to get rid of one because two is not needed)
I don’t know..I have been feeling self sufficient for a while now but I guess when we got quarantined you ask yourself what you need to survive and I looked around being like “we good homie”
I hope I am not the only one feeling like this. Like I ask myself now “what value does this give my life” and if that answer is “nothing” than I don’t wanna buy it...
Oh I need that because she has that...
Let me get my rug, cover myself up and pray because the only bank account I want to increase..is the one where my Rakats are stacking up, getting me closer to my Creator and His World...that’s what’s valued, that’s what matters; it’s just that simple. Bow down, add up.
