A Jolt

You know how sometimes you just get joulted to realty? That not everything is good and happy. We live in a very imperfect world. I was thinking today that it was such a great day--beautiful warm weather, green grass and colorful flowers coming up, a half day of school, my friend Nikki visiting, my good friend Mindy getting married tomarrow, etc.
Then during the afternoon I come to find out that a family is living in a man hole right outside the school. I couldn't even imagine this kind of a living. They are a beautiful family who are thankful to have a place to go to at night. It's just mind boggling to think that here I am with so many things and an apartment all to myself, and here's this family who's living in a hole in the ground. So many times I complain about this or that and they chose to be thankful to have this little spot to call their own for the moment. WoW! Who am I?
This is a commom thing. I hear of it often, but this is the first that I have seen it. It is a jult to be sure. Lord help to not ignore and push aside but to remember and act.
