I am aware that in many respects I have lived a blessed life. I have always had a roof over my head and have never been truly hungry. Blessed with so many people that have loved me and have been showered with the blessing of priceless friendships.Couple this with educational and vocational opportunities that I could not have imagined as a child. All this is not the story of many others lives who daily struggle just to exist so there is a responsibility to do all I can to enable others to share in the blessings of life.There is no dearth of opportunities, and each day I must remind myself that “one who is given much has the need to give back to others.”
