I think wanting more is a good thing - it's a strong motivator! - as long we don't let the wanting overshadow the joy of what we have.Desihttp://thevalentine4.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-33546143883338364872011-07-22T18:14:03.995-07:002011-07-22T18:14:03.995-07:00Human nature...we can ameliorate its effects somew...Human nature...we can ameliorate its effects somewhat but never eradicate it.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-61505064069240216122011-07-21T05:29:39.503-07:002011-07-21T05:29:39.503-07:00I find myself less discontented when I keep my foc...I find myself less discontented when I keep my focus low and nearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-41593864704918756042011-07-21T04:18:28.128-07:002011-07-21T04:18:28.128-07:00I don't know.

How do we share our resources? <br />There's the typical ways, money, donations to the food banks, clothes to the shelters. <br />I think we (not in Africa) have to start looking at how we do business, how we live our lives, how we view other countries...and how we try to help without making things even worse.<br />Being a praying person, I pray for the right people to rise up, either from there or from anywhere, and work and comfort those and provide what they need. But I'm also reminded that I must do my part as well. I can't go to Africa, but I can support UNICEF or the Red Cross, or UMCOR, or whatever agency...Navhelowifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278970516159719018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-32824691134679968732011-07-21T03:49:14.103-07:002011-07-21T03:49:14.103-07:00A wise woman once wrote, "It's not gettin...A wise woman once wrote, "It's not getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got."<br /><br />I, too, wish I knew how.unmitigated mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901264130484454602noreply@blogger.com
