Black Friday vs. Bleak Poverty

Frenzied pursuit of stuff with the reality of extreme poverty.  Black Friday vs. Bleak Poverty  The shopping is in my face online, the extreme poverty is in view from my back yard.  I can’t quite figure it out.  I don’t want to simply throw America (other nations for sure too) under the bus, but it just doesn’t seem right.

My only prayer is that you/I will seek God’s direction to live biblically in your/my context. Pursue him and his values.  How does he want you/me to live?  Are we being good stewards of our blessings/resources?
