That's the first step, being changed! Wanna read mine?

What has always struck me is the gratitude so often displayed by people who had so little. I also observed this coming from homeless people when we served on the soup run in PAris, France. I wonder if abundance dulls our sense of gratitude and appreciation.Eleanorshepherdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585635018021371280.post-35410595237890355732012-05-18T09:31:11.381-05:002012-05-18T09:31:11.381-05:00Very interesting.

We are still comfortable even on less than half of our former income because we have reevaluated wants vs needs.

Good to "see"...Good Friday morning Kariss! Good to "see" you again. Glad to be able to come by and hear your words. I have many personal ties to Haiti. Many of the lives of those I love are immediately linked to that country, those sweet people. I am thrilled you are heading there, ready to give your time and your heart to those in need. I have two friends living there now, and countless, countless others who cross the boarders back and forth to continue the fight of loving. I will be praying for your trip. Sincerely. How long will you be there? Please let me know if I can put you in touch with anyone who can be of assistance to you whether in preparation or while there.
