War and Peace

Yesterday i went to watch 300 the movie. It is about the soldiers that gives their lives for their countries against a much more powerful enemy. The Spartans, only numbering 300, stay resolute and fight to death against the Persians. Today, it is something like the Iraqis ( Spartans) fighting against a much stronger force, the United States( Persians). At the end, all the Spartans find their Glory by standing on their feet on the battle field.

I live in the United States, and i am able to have all the pleasures that life can proportionate, and that most people around me (including myself) take for granted. Really good food, water, energy and comfort are things that i have had all my life. Now i am pursuing a better car, a bigger flat screen TV and personal trips around the globe.

The point is for those who are able to access the internet and read this post, they need to be aware that God has already provided a lot in their lives. Computer and internet access is not something that we should take for granted, nor all the luxuries that we have in our lives. We live in a free country where we can pursue our dreams and our desires. That sometimes makes it harder for us to listen what god really have to tell us. Be simple and humble, and be aware of all the blessings that you already have in your life. Be thank full for the meals you have, the water, the comfort and all small things that we do not really consider possible to loose.

God, thank you for giving me shelter, a good night of sleep, daily food, a full refrigerator and also the opportunity to pursue my dreams. Thank you for proving so much for me and my family. I am aware of all these blessings and i will continue to search for your voice in my life.
