Blog Meme: Day 17

day 17- someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why


Hmm...my mind went in all different directions with this one. First I thought I would want to switch lives with someone in a third-world country for a day. Why? Because I think it would help me put in to perspective how richly blessed I am and would help me to be a little more humble.


Then, I elevated that thought to switching for a day in the life of Jesus. Not as Jesus, but as a follower during his mortal ministry here on earth. How amazing it would be to sit at his feet, listen to his words, and be his loyal disciple. 


And, just so you know that I am not all righteous in my thinking, I would love to switch with a really wealthy person for a day. I'd pack the day with really expensive activities, and since I hate shopping, I would pay someone else to do the shopping for me (spending this wealthy person's money) while I did all the fun things: like jet setting to a private island, or attending some very private function, etc.

First-Congratulations! It is fun having 3 kids! He is cute! Love the name. I agree with you on your thoughts of being someone else for a day! I spent a week in Peru with a humanitarian group and it was an eye-opening experience!
