My son, Ralph, does my grocery shopping and purchases my medications for me since I don’t get out of the house very often. We were recently talking about when I was a young girl and how much I enjoyed getting a Moon Pie and an orange soft drink. I could make a meal on those two things.
The more I thought about it, I asked him to get me some Moon Pies on the next trip to the grocery store. Sure enough, he got me a box of them.
I have enjoyed every bite, but I was a little surprised when seeing the size of a Moon Pie today compared to how I remembered them back many years ago.  They now cost about 30 cents each compared to five cents years ago, and the size today is about half of what I remember as a child.
Of course I know that times are a lot different now; just like a soft drink was five cents back then. A package of chewing gum was five cents compared to over a dollar now. A candy bar was five cents and today a person has to pay about a dollar or more for one.
While eating a Moon Pie, my mind went back to many great memories as a child and the other good things in my life.
We were very poor people, but wealth is not about money.
I have enjoyed a good life; not without problems. But the Lord has blessed me and continues to bless me every day.
