14 Years!

May is a crazy busy month for my family every year. Mr. Mo turned 2 on the fourth, myself 34 on the 7th, Mother's Day on the 8th, and today is the hubby and I's 14th Wedding Anniversary. Then from the 12th to the 18th 5 more birthday's in my family. Parties galore.

So back to the whole anniversary. This morning when I remembered and won the game the hubby and I play, by saying Happy Anniversary first...as my husband was thinking to how long it has been he said to me "What have we done in 14 years?" We had a lot of joking after this question, but as I have thought about it more today I am asking it more seriously.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

Sure we have stepped out in faith and adopted and trusted the Lord in those, and our current one, but we really haven't done enough for the least of these.

My Family, and most of America, PLAY IT SAFE. We stay in our safe little worlds, do our church thing, do our giving thing, love on those around us most of the time, but have we really sacrificed for our Lord? Have we really stepped out of our comfort zone and LOVED the least of these, the widow, the stranger, the orphan. Have we let the suffering really seep into our hearts enough to do something about it? Have we really given until it hurts, or do we take care of ourselves first? Put back for our "future", make sure we have what we think we need first, and then give what's left, or not at all.

I admit, My family has made mistakes, and still are. We indulge, buy unnecessary things, and are comfortable and rich far more than most of the world....

I am not sure what all God has planned, but I am seeking it, and I hope that when the hubby and I are celebrating another wedding anniversary we do not look anything like we do now.

(And those waiting for the cute pics of my adorable babes..they are coming. We celebrated Mo's second year of life with family on Sunday and I hope to download the pics soon.)
