I always loved the song "Daddy Never was the Cadillac Kind" by The Confederate Railroad. In the begining of the song it says:
   "We were poor when I was a youngun
       I don't remember ever going hungry
       Daddy made sure we didn't do without
       I went to school with some of these fellas
      They had money and I was jealous
      I didn't know then what I know now
      Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover
      It's what's inside that really matters"
This song applies to us all, because at some point in our lives we get alittle jelious of others. Just like in this section of the song when he says "I don't remember ever going hungry..." then, "I didn't know then what I know now..." How often do we not appriciate what we have, even if sometimes its not as great as someone else's? Looking back to when we were younger we can see the blessings that we had but didn't realize. This part of the song applies to me because we didn't have the best things growing up, but I can not remember ever going hungry. I am so gratefull now for what I had when I was a kid. then he goes on and says:
    "It took a while but now I'm grown
      I've settled down with kids of my own
      The more I give them
      The more they want"
Our Father in Heaven gave us everything we have. We need to be more gratefull for what he has given us instead of wanting the best of everything. The name of this song is Daddy Never was the Cadillac Kind. We don't need the best of everything, just be happy with what we have.
