I  subscribe to the ELCA Hunger Rumblings Blog which is a great source to find out what is going on in the world to help those who are without food and other basic necessities of life both in the US and abroad.  Each week I read statistics like, "1 in 6 people in the world will be hungry today and will go without food."  Below is an excerpt from a post made this week.  That I found to be profound and so I share them with you.   

"We could choose to despair over the problems of the world. We could choose to be silent about the injustices we see. We could choose to close eyes to the pain of others and become more isolated and insular as the threats of the economy loom.
Or we could choose to hope. We could choose to speak. We could choose to see the brokenness—remembering that wounds are also doors for opportunity, for transformation, reconciliation and healing. We could choose to take the chaos that lies before us, and use it to be creative, to reshape a world in which people are more valuable than money."
