Ready for not, the season is here! Where did the year go? My how time flys! I'm thankful that I live in the greatest country in the world. Gods blessings is truly on our land. As I stroll through the shopping centers watching people busy looking for gifts and spending their money, I'm amazed at how much we have in America. The craze to stand in line for hours just to be in the position to buy the latest electronic device amuses me. Having the privilege to travel internationally, I see the disparity and contrast between extreme wealth and extreme poverty. We have so much while others have so little. I'm trying to find the balance in my life. I do want to enjoy abundance and blessings, but I also want to be a blessing to those less fortunate than I. I know that I can't meet the needs of all the worlds poor, but the ones that I have contact with, I can help out. I asked the director of the childrens home what the custom is there for Christmas and I was told that it would be nice to buy or make some new clothes for the kids there. For about $200.00 we can buy new clothes for them. We are talking about eleven kids here. Some people in America will spend that or more on gifts for their dogs, cats and other pets.
