Blessings losses and wisdom

Last night I was thinking about my blessings, my losses, and what I've learned.

My blessing: (I have to many to say but I will list some) My parents, A wonderful Nana, A heart for missions, This house, My siblings, All the kids we have and still are adopting, Friends.
The list goes on, as i thought last night.

Now my Losses: My Nana, Friends, my own room ;)
Not to many i thought...

So my wisdom come in here, We have so many blessing and so little losses, what are we doing in return? I look at my parents and see people serving the Lord, I look at Katie in Africa and see love for him, I look at Cindy May and see a full heart for missions.
My mom was talking about giving every thing away for the poor and I agreed, as I look around i thought "The TV can go, my i-pod my nice wood base board." then i took a look at my purity ring, even though it wouldn't sell much i thought "Oh no not that, it has something from my Nana." So i stopped naming things. After that I kept thinking of that, if a starving kid was in front of me, and it would die if I didn't give it my ring would I do it? I keep on asking myself, I could give up cable and my computer even, but I could'nt say my ring. I prayed hard and thought about it for awhile, Then it came to me! This will not be in heaven! These kids can be, by what Katie, Cindy and My parents are doing! (and hopefully me some day) So this Christmas I Was going to ask for a nice guitar..... but I want a goat someone donate it in my name, I want money to give to Cindy May and Katie. Its a hard to say that I don't really want any thing for myself, But this is something i cant wait for! :)

I want to be one of those people who are All 4 Christ!
