Lula wrote: I agree with brenda, too much wealth may be bad but when you can't afford to pay your bills and not have enough for food for your children you want to have money. When i was growing up i wanted to be like dr. Cary-i was going to save the world, loved mother theresa (i am albanian like her) but life had other plans for me, i have a 7yrs. Old who was diagnosed with cancer at 3 and a half yrs. Old and life is still very hard especially on days like this when you don't have a penny and have to spent spring break at home with bored kids. Maybe our luck will change and i'll be able to help others but right now i feel useless. I applaud dr. Cary and keep doing what you're doing-we need people like you

" $$ often provides us w/the time we so desperately want & need--& would spend doing good, helping those we love, treasuring the angels in our lives. Perhaps the time you're forced to spend @ work is god giving you "down time"--a chance to put your mind on other things (who would ever think of work as a mental respite? ! ) certainly you're grateful for what you have, but it's only human to want the best for your children & grandchildren, which sometimes means wanting more than you currently have. Your little ones are blessed to have you. I don't think you're greedy in the least--you're simply concerned (and most likely frustrated) that your plan hasn't come to pass: that you haven't been able yet to afford the life you'd like to have. And it's not as if it's a life of luxury that you desire! You wish to have a life that enables you to care exclusively for those you love. No, that's not greed. I pray that god reveals himself--and his plan for you, your son, and your grandkids--to you. The most difficult part of believing is having the faith that he'll take care of our needs--please keep looking to him for strength and guidance. And remember, if he tends to the little sparrow, then certainly he'll see that your needs are met--you're infinitely more important to him than the little birds. He wouldn't let someone he loves so much fall.

But one of my first thoughts when reading your post was that your kids are so blessed to have you in their lives. They need you & love you--& that makes you far from useless! You may feel as if you're not contributing to the world b/c you're so wrapped up in the day-to-day burdens of your family but by taking care of your children--taking care of your sick son--you are contributing to the world! Being a mother is one of the highest callings in life. I hope you don't negate the good you do by being a mom to your little ones. And as for them being bored on spring break, it can easily become overwhelming when you want to provide fun for your kids but w/no $$ for it. This time w/them is a blessing, tho. Soon you'll wish for the time when they were home&bored w/nothing to do! It doesn't take much to have "free fun"--just a little imagination. There are lots of these activities on the internet. Time w/your kids is a gift & you are a gift to them. You're tired & overwhelmed by all you face everyday, but you're not useless; please don't think that. You're doing your part--you're doing just as mother theresa did. Perhaps the world needs more people like dr. Cary, as you said. I think the world needs more people like you, too. Christ be with you&your children.

asha wrote: Whatever is written is true. I work in palliative care setting where all age people come with cancer or other life threatening diseases. It is very much contended job and i enjoy being able to do something for them. My job gives me happiness as i serve for those people. My job has changed my thinking and brought new meaning to my life. I looked after my sick mum & my mum in law before this job, my enjoyment of serving people is still the same as it was 25 years ago. I wish i could have the same physical strength so i will not feel tired at the end of the shift. I just love and enjoy my work. But i always feel sad and empathetically for the family of such patient. As we are all human being we can understand others problems by putting ourself in that situation. I think it is quite good to be useful in this only one life. Because we are all unique and one of a kind so we should do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
