Never Forget......

It is getting late and I was just about to go to bed, when one of my favorite shows, TRAVEL THE ROAD, came on. It is a show that features two missionary men who go to the ends of the Earth to share the Gospel Message. On this night they went to Somalia. I have been to Honduras 7 times now and though I have seen many sights that have brought me to tears, I have never seen the true devastation that many parts of the world have experienced. When in Honduras I have always felt safe and for the most part accepted. In Somalia this would not be so. I saw such great sadness and fear. Starving children who have very little hope for their futures. I looked around my home as I was watching and what I saw was excess. What I saw was a collection of things......things that although cool to have, the cost of those things could have fed and cared for children who are dying of starvation! What I saw was selfishness and greed........I did not like what I saw. This day.....Veterans Day, is a day that we should be honoring those who went before us to give us safety and freedom, yet what I see in forming in our Country is a great selfishness of a me generation.....a lack of respect and knowledge of the sacrifices that were give freely to us by those who longed to make a better land for their families. I can't help but wonder if our forefathers could see us right now and what our Country is evolving into.....would they have been so quick to lay down their lives? Anyone who has served our Country and sacrificed their lives, their family times, their dreams........I want to sincerely THANK YOU! Your sacrifice has NOT gone unnoticed! I am so thankful also that every single day.....God is taking away my need for things that just gather dust or that will pull me away from the plan of God! People......we live in one of the GREATEST Countries on the PLANET! Hold it dear....protect it from those who want to steal, kill, and destroy this wonderful GOD given Country we live in and are proud to call home! I hope and pray that each and every one of you who read this......will go onto the internet and look for yourself at what most of the world is going through.....look at the poverty.....no just poverty of money, but poverty of spirit! I pray that something will click in your heart if you cannot see what I see around this world! I pray that God will open your eyes......but a word of warning.....you will NEVER be the same! As you know, a HUGE part of my heart lives in Honduras! Please take a moment to think about someone else and forget about the troubles in your world. If you know God.....you have got it made.......if you don't......I pray that you will fall on your knees in repentance.....and seek God and his plan for your life! BUT GOD!!!!!!!
