So lately my mind has been drifting, quite alot. Sometimes I just think far far away and forget to pay attention to this world.
I wouldn't say its been off to a nice place, but rather a place that needs attention and to be spoken about, not just to just become thoughts put away in jars only to be seen and never opened.
I've been hearing or reading articles about poverty and it really really hits me hard. Also about child labour, sex trafficking, and along the lines of all that kinda of stuff.
It tears me apart to even begin to think how one person can do that to another, an equal other. I just recently started giving a monthly donation to a NZ organisation, which focus is mainly on helping children - because that's where my heart is, but also the wider community in poor villages.
I don't want to sound like 'you should help people who don't have much, you have a job you can afford to help' because quite frankly if I was to say such things to anyone I would be pointing in the mirror.
It would be like going to a country where littering and rubbish on the roads is an issue and NOT dropping your rubbish because you want to make the difference and be the change. When I think that it would be of more use to go to the person dropping the rubbish and see them change? If that makes any sense at all.
I don't simply want to support organisations that help get people out of this injust behaviour, but to go to the beginning, the source and change them. We would see more of a change then I think, in my opinion.
I see so many beautiful childrens faces when my mind wanders and it pains me to think that the next day they're gone..for good, without even a chance to hear about God, love and hope.
