I wonder if young people still use an expression we did when I was a teenager. It referred to having money. If someone thought I had more money than they did and therefore should buy them a Dr. Pepper after school, they’s say, “Come on, man, you’re loaded.” Blessed be the LORD, who daily loath us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. - Psalm 68:19 KJV
Would you estimate your own status as “loaded?” I’m not just talking about having some money. I’m thinking about more blessings than just cash. Most of us would probably downplay our level of prosperity, like wealthy politicians trying to identify with us common folks. I’m sure you probably know people who have more than you and less than you. But would you describe your blessings portfolio as “loaded?”
