What are you waiting for?
I have been struggling the past for months and felt as things were hopeless. Tonight I watched something which I believe was the answer to my prayers.
I watched Idol Gives Back and I was touched to see so many people wanting to make a difference. What touched me even more were the stories that were told of how little people have and millions dying each year from hunger or illness, yet these people are happy and thankful for life and the little they do have.
The story that stood out the most was about a 7 year old girl who Annie Lennox visited with. This little girl was born with Aids cause her mother didn't have the right medicine needed to protect the baby while she was pregnant. Not long after the baby was born the mother died. At 7 years old this little girl was nothing but skin and bones and weighed as much as a 1 year old baby. The doctors and nurses said there was little hope for her. Annie Lennox went back to visit the girl after a few months and found a miracle. Through the generosity of others the little girl got the treatment she needed and his now the normal weight of a 7 year old child and is expected to live a long and healthy life. Needless to say I was a wreck by the end of this story and was ready to rip through a box of tissues.
Next time you think your life is so bad and there is no hope just think there is someone who has it worst and no matter what they continue to move on. Be grateful for things you have. We need to learn to count our blessing and not our troubles.
