Two worlds

In a world drowning in material... A world obsessed with overdone weddings, designer labels, fancy cars, high paying careers, reality TV, expensive cocktails, glorious vacations...

A world where the opulence of your home values your worth,  a world where people live day to day never taking a second to think bigger than themselves, where people believe that their lifestyle is all that exists...

there is also a world of war.

A world where friends come together as family,  paychecks are small but hearts are big, recipes are shared, get togethers are carefree because life is not, prayers are constant, unexpected is expected, children are loved, friendships are instant, neighbors always have a cup of sugar( or dog food)

... a world where weddings are quick,  marriages are strong, and babies are celebrated.

...a world where loved ones are left behind to hold down the fort, heroes are real and they fight for our freedom, families struggle but are strengthened by faith...

 a world where men and women raise their right hand giving their ALL to their country, and all too often the sacrifice really is THEIR all.

Try to walk a little in someone else's' shoes, everyone is fighting their own battle. When you dig deep, you will see that both worlds are filled with happiness and hurt, love and loneliness. Help others when you can, appreciate the opportunities you are given, and never take anything for granted.
