Why?

Why is it that when we go on a mission trip to serve, we are the ones that get served? Why is it that when we get back from mission trips, after a week, we get back to our old self's and forget what we learned and how lucky we are? It is amazing, even as a Christian, I do take things for granted! Everyone does some time or another. Yes God blessed us with what we have (job,car,school,money,etc.), but those people in the third world countries can not even find a job. Where do they get the money? Where do they ate? Do they go to school? Have they even seen a car, or even rode in one? Yet when we come to help, they are so grateful that we are there and they give us as much as they can and we want to save our money for souvenirs! Why can't the world have the same things? Why can't the rich give to the poor? Why can't the poor die?

These are just some questions that we ask one another, if not ourselves! Why can't the world be a better place for all people - poor or rich, female or male, etc?
