To Whom It May Concern thoughts about life as I see it

As Reality Sets In

As reality sets in, I realized that I have am blessed beyond what I can count.

It took place at the corner of an intersection.  All day today, I had been living in luxury compared to the rest of the world.

I went to lunch today at the mall, and had the option of what to eat, unlike many, who don't have the option of what to eat, much less food to eat.

I went to see a movie, which many, especially in these tough times, can't even get around to doing because of finances. 

I used my iPhone to access facebook and twitter, and then reality set in.  At the corner of the intersection was a woman who had a sign with her, which was written along the lines of,

I am homeless, and I have three children.  Please help me by donating whatever you can.

Well, I didn't have any money, only a credit card, so I prayed for her and then drove off.

Too many times, we (and I speak to myself in the same sense) tend to look to much at something so appealing to the eyes, so appealing to our body, that we miss what is really going on in life.

I don't want to come down hard on anyone, because I am so guilty of this all the time, but take time today to notice the little things in life.  And appreciate the great things that you are given.  It may be your last day here on earth.  You never know!  So, hopefully for you, reality has set in, and there is something larger out there for you.  Remember, in your busy life, that you have purpose, and pray to God that you can have the faith it takes to accomplish much for the Kingdom.
