Using what I've been given
PostPosted: Wed Aug 20, 2003 3:12 pm
This summer, I didn't get a job. I could have, but I didn't, because I thought I didn't need money. I don't really. If I'm fed, I'm happy, usually. I thought that it would be a better use of my time to spend it with my friends than to waste it earning money I didn't need.
Well, it's not that I need money now any more than I did then. But then I heard on the radio about families that live in developing countries. The parents make an average of about $67 a month. Then I realized that I could make that in 10 hours of work. I've wasted my time.
I realized that I could have spent my summer here where it would be easy for me to get a job and get paid well helping those that live where neither of those things are true. I buried my mina.
So now I've decided to try and earn what money I can to give to those that need it. I don't need it. I don't want it. But they do.
Please pray for me.
