1. I have a job (that I enjoy). Nearly 8 million Americans are unemployed.
2. I have a home (with heat and hot water). Over 500,000 Americans are homeless.
3. I have friends (that pray and laugh with me). Loneliness affects 60 million Americans.
4. I have a family (that supports and loves me). There are 20 million orphans in the world.
5. I have insurance (to help pay for great medical care). 33 million Americans lack insurance.
6. I have a healthy body (which enables me to run and jump). Diarrheal diseases will kill over 2,000 kids today.
7. I have Internet access (to show me what is happening in the world). Billions are excluded from the online domain.
8. I have an education (that gives me access to countless opportunities). 775 million adults are functionally illiterate.
9. I have issues (that show me my weaknesses and how much I need Him). 1/3 of the world's seven billion people claim to follow the Son of Man.
10. I have the love of the Father (giving me purpose and everlasting life). Do you know His love?
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
I am an Alpha lovin' Hafu TCK Hoosier who is married to an Omega lovin' WASP Hoosier, & we are educators who have one married kiddo, one college student, and one middle schooler. This mixed bunch called the Wickershams once lived in the Middle Kingdom, but now reside in Southern Indiana. To Him be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!
