The World of Plenty
How is it that in our world we have nicely secured or perhaps stashed away plenty for few but the majority has next to nothing?
How is it that there is so much growth for billionaires and millionaires when throughout the world many thrive on less than a dollar a day?
How is it that there is an abundance of food that is not used but trashed while the third and fourth world population which is the mass is forced to eat dirt, trash or garbage?
Why should we feel comfortable securing the wealth in all its forms and not share our God given talents, resources and skills with others who struggle daily to survive? Have we taken on the “better than” idea because of how we look, speak or dress?
When we examine humanity, are we any different from the child in Haiti, the woman in Trench Town, the father in Kenya, the grandmother in Bosnia? Your response maybe yes or perhaps no but we all have a beautiful common thread that runs through all of us inspite of where we are from, how we look, sound or what status we belong to.
Where does justice and equality lie?
When we say the Lord’s Prayer it is the same prayer that a child in Mexico cries out except it is in another language?
Doesn’t this mean that we are all united through faith and prayer and most importantly through God?
