The trick is, I feel, to find/cultivate the right community. And that's what we're after, yea?<br />hmm... "Are you sad\happy to be leaving?" ...yes. :)<br /><br />@miles, too true. Really goes along with your most recent post, too. Simply believing the world can be a better place just simply isn't enough for me. Either I do something about it, or... what good am I? What am I worth? mm. powerful stuff.Chasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093427221290833702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765137263817678796.post-9760861734871345972009-08-08T11:02:09.104-07:002009-08-08T11:02:09.104-07:00" What are we doing about it? We can do somet..." What are we doing about it? We can do something about it!"<br /><br />When I deeply think about the things that are happening to people around the world, I feel kind of engrossed by my own comfortable life. And at the same time I become thankful to God that I have a roof over my head, an abundance of food to eat and plenty of clothes. Because honestly...those people probably work a lot harder than I do to gain even a fraction of what I have. I realise that I did NOT get all this by my blood, sweat at tears. But God simply blessed me with it. Remembering that helps me to not get swallowed up in the emptiness of 'stuff'.<br /><br />Still...I wish I did more for 'the least of these' in my own area. So often we feel sorry about starving people in Africa and send money to a charity. It's 'easy'. Easier than noticing the homeless person on our doorstep and buying them a meal and allowing them to shower in our home. We (me included sadly) like to keep all that at a distance. We don't allow our hearts to be burdened with it. And because of that we will also never truly experience the essence of selfless giving. <br /><br />I know that sounds very black and white, but theres an essence of truth in it.
