Good Morning Sarafina

Getting Water For Sarafina! In the high mountains of Ethiopia is a little 3 year old girl whose job is to go get water for the family from a water source over 7 miles away. Traveling between villages to make it. This is not the reality of all of the people who live in Ethiopia but it is the only reality that she knows. Her brothers go to school as she patiently waits for them to return. For many of us, we would consider this a punishment, but Sarafina sees it as a blessing as she sees kids traveling even farther with a lot less. It just shows you that life is about perspective and that heaven and hell is in our heads and not in our current reality. I have said before that reality is ...perception and position, and when you change your position, it will change your perception. During this writing, I want you to put yourself in the shoes of Sarafina. She has dreams too, and one day, I pray they come true. As the listener, I want you to do the same. What are your dreams? Are you really being held back? Or are you not willing to walk 7 miles just to fill one bucket of water, so your family can survive. We all have our journeys we must travel. And I am not here to say one is more difficult than the other. But I am here to say that if a 3 year understands that this is what has to be done and not what she wants to be done, so her family can survive, what are our excuses?
