While I was mourning my kite shirt, I reflected on those in Japan who have lost everything. Corey and I have been watching videos of the destruction and it is heartbreaking. I can't imagine watching my possessions, home, town, and entire way of life being washed away. To be surrounded by such magnitudes of destruction and devastation as waves of helplessness and hopelessness drowned me.
And here I am bawling over one shirt.
Then I began to think about all the people in the world who don't own a single shirt let alone a favorite one, families that have no home to lose. There is need around me all the time.
And I have a home full of favorite things.
I am blessed. God has given me much. Do I appreciate His gifts? What am I doing with what He has given me? How can I help those in need in Japan? In Nicaragua? In Georgia?
