Your Blessed Stop Complaining!!!!

Being from East New York, Brooklyn most people would assume that I had it so bad, I mean I went through a lot of traumatic stuff but financially I was definitely taken care of. I wore nice clothes, I travelled to different places, I had my own room, my Christmas was always blessed with a whole living room full of stuff, I always had food and I had extracurricular activities (African dance, swimming, extra math classes), by the time I was 14 years old I worked at HBO making good money. Now this isn't to brag at all, it's a point I want to make in my blog. I hear a lot of people complaining about they don't have this and they don't have that, my job makes me sick, blah blah blah but honestly it sickens me.  There are people who wake up everyday on the street, they have no food, their children will never know what it feels like to take a trip or have everything they want.  Jesus wants us to have compassion on our brothers and sisters, he wants us to love one another as he has loved us.  A while ago I started an organization to mentor young girls and even though life got in the way it is something that I will finish.  Sometimes all it takes is a dollar, or a nice smile, or a how are you doing to make some one's day. Stop being so selfish, teach your children to treat people with respect.  Why not volunteer somewhere and help someone, why not be a mentor to a young girl or boy who doesn't have someone to guide them and if you have the means, why not adopt a child (I sooooooo wanna do this in the future)?  How can we say we love Christ and not love the homeless man on the train or the child without a home, we have to do better as Christians but not even as Christians as a nation. God blessed me financially and he gave me strength to endure every storm so why can't I give a little more or listen to problems that aren't mine. So I decided to do something I never did and when I say God blessed me, I was shouting Thank you Jesus! Lol.  I decided to give financially to it hurt. I knew these people needed it and I was like OK I'll be good, then a bill came out of no where and I was like heck no what am I going to do, so I prayed and left it there with God and went about my business. A couple of days went by and it was revealed to me that I was getting a check and on the same day that the bill was due. God is so good, he always takes care of his children, all he wants us to do is put him first and trust him. As I look back over my life, I must say God has kept be through the trials and tribulations and I know I am blessed beyond measures.  Pray for God to show you how to love and for you to have wisdom, that you have a caring heart because you just never know the cards life is going to deal you. That home, that car, that job are all blessings from God, if you continue to take it for granted you may look up one day and have to ask for change. Be blessed
