Wish Day


I wish that there were "no poor among us." I often imagine what the world would be like if we all lived as if we cared as much for everyone else as we did for ourselves. I wish that we didn't have to "charge" for our services. I think that if we all cared about humanity and thought a little less of ourselves there would be no hunger. There would be no anger. We would be so technologically advanced because all our research and inventions would be for the betterment of mankind. There would be enough life-saving medicine and procedures for every person on this planet. Everyone would know how to read because the thought of one person not knowing how to read would be enough to make the whole world stop until that person could read. I wish that we would all wish that every other human being had everything we had - that every other person on the planet were loved like we were loved. I wish we could all truly love the Lord and love our neighbor like we love ourselves.

Thanks Kristy for initiating wish day. Thanks Dianna, Abbey, Ben, Mary, Jared, Kristy, Thomas and Kimball for giving me so many of my wishes. I wish that one day you will live in a world like this. Maybe there is an Enoch among us now.
