Blessings

Recently with all that's been in the news about earthquakes, wars, and disease, I've become more aware of just how much I've been blessed with. I don't go to church and worry about being safe. My concerns center on how to get into graduate school. Not whether I can go to school at all. And this week, when the water at my work suddenly turned a milky white color, I was reminded that people around the world are worried about whether their water has dangerous microorganisms. That they worry when their water is a dirty brown. I might not be able to see my fingers if I cup my hand and fill it with the water from the tap, but I'm also not concerned about getting seriously sick after washing my hands with it. I probably wouldn't voluntarily drink it, but I've seen people brush their teeth with no visible ill effects. So where does all this lead me? I'm realizing just how small my problems really are. When I look around, it's easier to put things in perspective. And I'm asking myself - I've been tremendously blessed and I have a lot of resources, so how can I use that which I've been given to bless in turn those who maybe don't have access to everything I do? How can I use what I have to make an impact in the lives of others? More to come on thoughts later, but until then, what can you do with what you have?
