I've been blessed to be a part of a church congregation that has sent 50% of its members on short term missions trips - it may have something to do with having a retired missionary in our midst, but there are some amazing people who have built homes for the homeless, run summer camps for orphans, and other amazing things. They inspire me, but I admit I haven't taken that kind of trip myself yet.<br />Way to go, David!Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030453069845909403.post-68922205488160920922014-12-18T08:20:03.159+11:002014-12-18T08:20:03.159+11:00What a wonderful trip that will mean so much to so...What a wonderful trip that will mean so much to so many.

You are so right. Those people have a lot to teach us. We think in our affluent society that we have it all, but if we're missing gratitude and joy in those little things in life that have nothing to do with how much stuff we have, then we're also missing the point.
