It puts a lot of things into perspective when we begin to consider how blessed we are. I live in one of the best nations in the world, every day I've got food on the table, more than enough clothes to wear, a warm house in the winter, a cool house in the summer, 2 cars, I go out to eat from time to time, we own 2 computers, a television, I have a bed to sleep in, etc., etc. etc. God has given me (and you) an awesome responsibility to share the wealth.
We are VERY blessed! I, personally, am blessed not with just material things but a wonderful church family, an awesome husband, two extraordinary kids, a family who will love me no matter what, and finally friends who I can count on. Thanks for the reminder.
