We get up to an alarm, a warm bed, a cup of coffee, warm clothes...
Do we think?
We go to work and complain about our jobs, wishing for Friday to come...
Do we think?
We come home, cook supper, wash dishes, sweep, spend little quality time with our families...
Do we think?
We do it all again, day after day after day...
Do we think?
Do we think about those starving not too far away, those needing a kind word just down the block, that someone that would give anything for a warm hug, someone to love them.
Do we think?
About those some 7,000 kids trafficked on a Lake so many miles away, working 16 hour days with little sleep and one meal a day
Do we think just how blessed we are that God choose us to lead the lives we are when he could have put us in someone else's situation?
I know I didn't used to but how could I not now. It haunts my thoughts daily but I must choose to Seek Justice, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with my God.
It only takes one, will you be that one?
