This morning I was cleaning the refrigerator, and I throw out a lot of food that went bad. I filled the trash bin with all the food that had to be thrown away. As I was taking out the trash bag, I stopped to think. How many people do not have food to eat today? How many starving children would have loved to eat this food that I am throwing away? I felt really bad. Why is it that many times, we don't value what we have? I'm not just talking about food. Look at how people are in this world. Siblings fighting with each other or not even talking to each other, when there are youth that wish they have a brother or sister or maybe even lost their sibling in an accident or sickness. The youth that says he or she hates her mom or dad, when there are youth that have never met their parents, or they got separated, or even died. The youth that harms his/her body with alcohol, drugs, smoking, cutting, when there are youth dying of cancer that wish they could have the long life we have. The youth that is too lazy to walk, when there are people who cannot walk. The youth that has to be dragged and forced to church, when Jesus voluntarily walked to be sacrificed on the cross for us.
What have you not valued?
