our responsibility

a quote from a friend's blog...she says it much better than i could. enjoy the "festivities" today - but take a few minutes to think about our responsibilities as we've been blessed by being in this wonderful, FREE country!

"I do thank God that we live here and that our opportunities are endless. But I also keep hearing in my head, ‘to whom much is given, much is required.’ And I think we so often miss the boat on this one. We thank God for his many blessings and our many comforts. We throw parades to celebrate our independence. And we forgot about the responsibility that comes with us. Rather than solely, ‘Thank you, God,” I must move to “What can I do?” The uneven distribution of wealth and privilege in the world requires that those who are given much, give much."
