Step away from that – and just be.

9. Dignity. Health. Joy. Love. Hope.
The five things we wanted to spread
while we were in Africa. We wanted
the people there to experience all of
the above but we were unaware and
oblivious that we were experiencing all of it as well.
Do they live in poverty? Politically, yes. They suffer from not having
nearly as much things as we have. When I spent two weeks in Africa,
the people there had more joy and more love than I have ever
witnessed anyone have. I envied them.
Are we in poverty? We’re missing something. It may not be toys
or cars or giant houses. But it’s something.
Needs? Relationships?
Something.
