No matter what though at this point in time we still have a better set up as a country then most of the countries around the world. At least it appears that way since I have not had the privilege of living in another country.

Mark and Marilyn probably have a whole different viewpoint on that...I can only imagine what it looks like viewing America through the lens of the media, movies, and books from outside the US...Shoot, it looks awful to me and I'm sure I'm jaded to most of it...but still, there are many things I'm thankful for...and many I'm ashamed of...

Hi james,

I find that I am appreciative of the country I live in, (Australia) & that it is not so populated or oppressed as other nations. However I do realise that even believers here are too focussed on material things & do not appreciate God`s blessings in Christ Jesus - salvation, eternal home in heaven, & here - family, friends, a home & food & perhaps health & strength.

Many are still seeking the `ministry` that they think God is going to give them!!! When I believe that every day is an opportunity to have the `ministry of reconciliation` to others.

Just my thoughts. Marilyn.
