Look to others!

Philippians 2: 4

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

 

Americans spend over $110 billion dollars a year on fast food.

That’s more than they spend combined on magazines, movies, books, and recorded music.

 

Can you imagine if most people thought about helping others, instead of helping themselves?

Many adults spend about $5 dollars per day on candy and soda. That’s short of $2 thousand dollars per year.

 

Not many people would choose to pull out yesterday’s left over spaghetti.

Let’s face it, we pretty often look out for number one, and leftovers aren’t usually a part of the menu.

 

What if we all gave thought to helping people who are starving in the world?

The average person in 2/3^rds of the rest of the world, live on less than $2 dollars per day.

 

What if instead of being concerned about how we’re going to live out our retirement years, we actually decided to help folks who are alive today.

They might not even make it to retirement age, if we don’t consider their interests first.

 

All we’d have to do, is cut our candy/soda intake in half, and we could make a huge difference.

But that would take some getting used to. That would actually take some sacrifice.

 

How do you plan at looking at the interests of others?

Do you even care about the interests of others?
