40 years plus....gone.


Maybe 40 years yet to come...
...if so,
that gives 14,600 days of possibilities.

What will be accomplished by choice or by default of not making a choice (which is ultimately a choice) with those next 14,600 days?

I took this photo of our boys when we lived on our ranch/farm in Kansas.  It is a favorite of ours.  Almost six years ago now, and it hangs on our wall in a large gallery wrap colored in black and white.

We have had so much fun over the years.  Posing for the photos, doing the mom and the boys "things" while dad was working on our land and at a job, or on another friends land, sometimes all three in the same day. 

These two boys, now young men fill my heart with love!  God has placed a contentment and a joy in our lives, and that is such a blessing.  There is no amount of words that can describe that inner peace.

Peace...

We saw on TV tonight, some things that are just not fathomable....where there is no peace.
We saw that there is a "slave industry" around the world.  
It is a $32 Billion dollar market yearly! 
In our day! 
In our world. 
Our U.S.A. is also included in this...we are not excluded. 

How can this be? 

Can we do anything about that which we are hardly aware of? 
Here is a site to open our awareness... http://www.demiandashton.org/advocate-2-eliminate and to do something about it...if we so choose to.

Personally we are more than "blessed" to be where we are...so now, how can we touch one life and help that person know that they are valued, loved by God and man, and lift them from their unimaginable pain?

That is something that each of us has to decide.

Look away...and walk away.
Look, become informed and make a stand. 

One step...one day...one person...one at a time.

What is your choice?
14,600 days to go.
