Oh yeah, American's aren't the only ones on this planet!!

So Rob did the message at youth last night and he did so great. He called my brother for some stories of things he'd seen oversees while on missions work. Aaron sent him this comedic video clip about how amazing we have it yet nobody's happy. How true! This video was funny but also so true about how we get so frustrated when technology stops working for a minute and we don't even think twice about how amazing it is that we have the technology that we have in the first place. Ironically the computer froze while playing this video for the youth last night and all we could do was laugh instead of get frustrated.
Then Rob read some of the stuff that Aaron wrote telling of the things he'd seen and the things that will make you change the way you think about your clothes that are maybe a little too small or that maybe aren't "in style" anymore. And the next time we see someone with a prostetic leg and realize what an amazing thing for us to have "fake" legs and so many in other countries are dragging themselves along with missing feet/legs and they don't even have crutches or a wheelchair, let alone a prostetic leg...
After that we played a video that Rob's brother made that broke the world down to only 100 people and if there were only 100 people, only 4 would be American and I think it was like 16 would be starving, and so many of that 100 would be dying of diseases that would easily be cured in America and so on and so forth...
This all really got me thinking and well really humbled me and made me feel soooo blessed all at the same time. And what's crazy is that I go days upon days upon days (probably months at times) without thinking about anyone oversees and what they are going through. I live in a bubble and I know that I'm not the only one! And although there are millions and millions of people on this earth (not just in America) God loves me! Me! How cool is that?!
