On the other hand I do very much agree with most of what you are saying here. I agree that we are Kings (which is ironic ‘cus we married into the king family) and we need to stop lavishing on ourselves “things”, or “comforts”.

I have been thinking along the same thought pattern as you are for the last week or two. I have started to put my thoughts into action. Last week I gave two of the youth in our youth group the money from the offering so that they could use it to bless someone who was poor or needy. I am also in the process of getting our group involved in the Brantford Poverty scene somehow. Maybe by serving meals, or building relationships with the homeless, or raising money for the those in need.

Alisa and I have also just started to sponsor a Compassion Child. I am not saying any of this to brag at all, but to encourage you, and anyone else who reads this, to take action. Just do what you believe is right, and don’t beat yourself up too much over the grief in the world because it will always be here. We just need to do our part!!(and maybe you are already?)

it’s tough. it really is.
