Frustrations.

So in the mail I got a letter from Samaritan's Purse about sending money to help the efforts in Japan. It was weird because I didn't get one when the earthquake hit Haiti. But, I was like oh that's sweet. So then Sunday at church they were talking about taking up a love offering to help Japan. I'm not at all saying this is a bad thing.

What I am saying is why the heck do we wait until a national disaster happens to send a love offering to help people? Africa has little kids that don't have simple medicine and vaccinations to prevent malaria, a curable disease. Water, something Americans don't think twice about, is hard to come by in areas infected with poverty. Poverty is a CURABLE disease! We have enough money in the world to provide for everyone but people don't understand what it means to selflessly give and to love people with our actions.

I'm speaking to myself too. Money isn't something I've ever really owned personally. I've only had one real job besides babysitting and nursery for choir members. The money that I have either came from my refund check or from my parents. I think it's great that my parents want me to focus on school and not money and I feel like I will definitely do such things when I have children. But the thing is I feel like it isn't my money to give away. But I do try to invest my time and love into people because that is something that I own and can give away. Also I'm sure I could start giving my money that I do own away in a selfless manner.

So, I guess my point is I really wish everyone would just learn to live selflessly. Not saying that I'm perfect at all. I just believe that the world would be so much easier to live in if we just learned to care for and love others. It isn't even that hard. I promise God will bless you so very much. Not necessarily in physical or worldly things, but sometimes He will bless you just within your heart. I know He tends to bless me by using people to make me feel loved and beautiful.
