so rich

over the past couple of months there have been moments where ive felt quite empty.. and bored. Maybe i wasnt content with my surroundings..

and then i thought back to houseparty this year..remembering that as an aussie that we're so rich.. i live in a family that owns 3 cars! i have a full time job in the city, i have so many clothes at home that i could easily live without.. i have an ADSL2 connection at home that allows me to download 30gb/month (as geeky as this may sound and not suprisingly i dont need!)!

it was 2006 February..my first night of SHUM (surry hills urban mission, feeding the homeless at central station and telling the gospel) i had come back to my car. I sat inside..looked at my mp3 stereo system and thought.. *wow* i have so much compared to these guys (the homeless).

But going back to the point of feeling empty and bored was remembering that i was so rich.. i didnt need to feel bored or empty..remembering that i was so rich got rid of this emptyness..so rich with loving brothers and sisters in Christ, a loving family and a loving God. A God that has given me direction..a God that i can pray to..a God that has given me a role to do..and that is to live his way and tell people about his Son..
