Who are you thinking about?

I ran across this comment on another blog that I follow. It was so good that I had to post it here.

Why is my life more valuable than this baby’s? Someone asked me recently why I don’t save money for emergencies, or retirement. My answer was how can I justify saving for myself “just in case” something happens to me, when something IS happening to so many already. 29,000 kids will die today of preventable causes. If I’m to love my neighbor AS myself, why spend so much time worrying about me.

I concur.

As Jesus says in the Sermon on the Mount (paraphrased), "Why think about yourself? If the Father in heaven takes care of the flowers of the field, how much more will he take care of you?"

Who are YOU thinking about?
