Blessed!

Tonight we went to a birthday party for a friend of Riley and Callie Joy. We went to a place called Sliderz. It was another bounce house party place for kids, the same type of place we went to last week for Callie Joy's birthday. Tonight as all the kids were running around having so much fun, eating their heads off with pizza and coke my mind was racing ahead to next week. Next week I am heading to the Bahamas for a mission trip. It just got me thinking how ridiculously blessed we truly are. Two phenomenal parties in two weekends. Both full of lots of fun, tons of presents, great pizza, and plenty of soda. And they were "typical" get togethers. My point is with 4 billion people living off less than $2 I can't help but feel like we are living like King's and Queens. We've got it made. We are so blessed and so rich. My first thought is, "wow, great for us." but then God reminds me that we are blessed to be a blessing. I guess you can say that today I realized once again how awesome of a lifestyle we have in America. But with that blessing does come the responsibility to use our leverage to help those not as fortunate. To be honest I'm not to sure what I am going to put to action with this thought but I do know God will open my eyes to someone I can serve someone. Remember you are rich and you are blessed, yes you, now enjoy it and lets take care of each other. PS: the video is just a funny shot of us goofing around inside one of the bounce houses and yes that is me at the end.
