It's nights like last night that remind me of how blessed I am with the life I have. God has given me so much and others so little. It just isn't fair yet at the same time He has done it for a reason. I forget about the blessedness of life. Then I go to a lock in for CUMBYA (Carthage Undergrads Making Big Youth Activities) and I get a chance to talk to one of the kids and they tell me all of their problems and the tough stuff that they are dealing with and I realize that I have been so lucky to lead the life I have. I had one such experience last night. I was talking to this 13 year old girl who has had so many experiences of loss and suffering in the 13 years that it is not fair. Right now one of her friends that is 11 years old is staying with she and her family. This 11 year old has had to learn how to take care of her mother whenever she is drunk and when her mom comes home drunk goes into the routine without a second thought. This is not fair. No 11 year old should know how to do that.
I thank God for all He has given me. I cannot imagine being in any of these children's situations. I will pray for them continually as well as for all the corruption in this world. Nothing is pure anymore. Nothing is as Go intended.
God be with you today and always. He loves you more than you can imagine.
