Too much

Do you ever feel you just have too much? I don't think we have an abundance of junk or anything like that, though we do have some things we don't need. But what troubles me is that we are so blessed, while others aren't.

We have enough, and more then we need. What should we do about this?

I have been thinking, wondering, pondering and praying about this. Is it right for me to get a freezer, when others are struggling? Is it right for my life to be seemingly unaffected by the economic crisis, while others struggle?

No, that can't be right!!!

But, I don't know who these people who are suffering. What can I do about their struggle? What does God want me to do? What is my responsibility?

I feel like I am talking to myself, as if I must hash out this dilemma. Does anyone else feel this way? What have you done?

Where must the line be drawn between living comfortably and living too comfortably?

I feel guilty when we have enough to remodel our house, and work on things like that. I feel like we should be suffering like I have heard others are. Yet when I asked a friend if anyone she knows has lost their job she responded in the negative.

Could it be that this economic crisis is more talk than truth? Or it is just that God has so amazingly provided and is providing that so far we are living untouched by this? That is true, he has been so good to us! During Daniel's first year of life we have been recieving support from the government, when that ends we will then be on one salary. Perhaps then this crisis will sink in. . .
