Depressing

I looked at the headlines today and thank God for the fact that I have a job, a house and a safe family. Yes we struggle, yes we make some poor decisions but we are here. Iran and Korea are struggling for everything, people in other countries who live on a quater a day can't find ways to make ends meet and we are spending money on pop, fast food, new shoes, new cars and a million and one more things that we really don't need. Here in our area we have a local homeless shelter that houses a lot of people. It is sad, very sad. While they have what they need for basic daily survival...how is this okay in our society? How many of us have spare bedrooms, spare cars, spare change or spare toys we could give to the little boy or girl who is scared and ashamed. Okay...before anyone says anything..techinally I'm guilty too! I'm going to try to finish up my chores for today, can some food and do what I can to purge some things. I think I'm going to try to get the friends together to have a huge yardsale. This would help them...and me at the same time. I'm going to see about donating all or a portion of the money we make to a local worthy cause....I'll figure out what cause later. We are truly bless to have what we do. On that note, I need to get going. I want to get my chores done, send an email to a friend who I miss and do my daily reading.
