The forgotten blessings

How many times have we looked past the needy, overlooked the wanting, ignored the unloved? This last week I did not post because I was at a summer camp for a week called Angle Tree week. Every camper this whole week had at least one parent that was incarcerated. They were inner city kids from Dallas and Houston.

Though I was training to be staff this week I had the amazing opportunity to be around these kids and help them through. The situations they go through I cannot begin to understand. Today, when you read this post, I just hope you remember those who are less fortunate than you. Remember the lost, the hurting, the hungry... Remember the outcasts and do not continue to ignore them

That being said, the purpose of this post is perspective. It is easy to get caught up in the bad things, the wrong things, the sad things, but remembering the blessing is hard. Remembering how great we have it to live in a free country that protects us and recognizes our basic rights... None of us do that any more. Today, wherever you are when you read this, remember all you have to be thankful for and smile. Share a smile, tell someone thank you.

I am thankful for my God who loves me, for my family who is always there, for my country which I live in, and for the police and military who risk themselves to protect me.

God bless America
