Making wise investments

Our church hosted the African Childrens Choir last night. As always, they were a big hit. But as I listened to the stories of where these children come from, the huge number that have been orphaned by war, poverty, and AIDS, I was convicted once again about how I live my life. It takes so little money to make a difference there. Yet in Canada we (I) just tend to keep on "investing" in ourselves. We buy nicer things. We spend more time looking at Wal-Mart flyers than we do taking the mandate of Jesus to the world. We need to invest in things that matter. Maybe we need to mediatate on those "blessed to be a blessing" scriptures a bit more.
