We've been mediating recently on the never ending quest for "balance" in life. It seems like people are always trying to find "balance" between family, personal, work, hobies.... However...
...the search for "balance" is a luxery of our affluency.
Imagine those in Darfur, or in the Great Depression, or in most of human history trying to find "balance". They are too busy surviving and making ends meet!
Whenever we find ourselves wanting "balance", we ought to be thrusted into thankfulness...genuine, humble thanksgiving.
