A Reminder...

This morning Mom and I went to get a manicure and a pedicure. The shop brought back so many memories. It was run by people from Vietnam. One of their sons was there and he reminded me so much of one of the kids from the orphanage that I worked in last year. Then, as I was getting my pedicure, I was talking to the lady doing it. She told me how she has no education and that she can't get one now because her English is not good enough, she can't afford it, and she thinks she is too old. She kept telling me how lucky I am to be able to go to school. I wanted to cry because I was reminded of just how amazingly blessed I am. Just being Canadian and living in North America we have so many priveledges that others don't have. I thank the Lord for blessing me. At the same, I hate that we live such priveleged lives while others struggle. All together today was a nice reminder to be grateful and work hard. I pray that God will use me to help others so that they have a fair chance at life too.
