Reflection from Kari

Have you ever head someone coughing, and then you can hear their voice through it? Or perhaps read a letter, or a text message, and heard ther person's voice in your head? We here today have heard that voice, the Lord's voice. He said, "My child, go forth and share me." I have heard his voice and look at me now, surrounded by amazing people, ones I know and those I don't yet. Here in Zambia everything is slower and so much more alive. In a way that you know only God could do. To bring joy to those who have so little. I see children younger and older than I am who are full of so much energy and happiness that it takes my breath away. To see such joy is truly a blessing.

When thinking of so many Americans who are depressed and troublesome it is quite sad and depressing. But when everyone here with only a place to sleep, eat, and all the other necessities, it is almost crazy to think of all the things I left at home. All technology and the betterness, I may say, makes us lazier throughout the day. 

To you now, I want you to think of all the good things you have and say, "Thank you Lord for another day." A day to love one another.  A day to celebrate, take chances, and of course just live. To feel life in a new way everyday. So give thanks and remember what is truly important to you, whether is be family, friends, or anything else. Just make the most out of what you have.
