Not thinking of own standard of living

My letter is very simple. I have been in health care since 1985. My husband is a physician. Over these many years, we have watched what happens to the people, in our case children, who have good resources, and those who do not.

I am a therapist employed by a large pediatric institution, and my husband is a pediatrician. We have seen it all. Sure, we are "well off," with good insurance. But we are not so shallow or selfish to think only of protecting our "standard of living." In short, we care about others. It is frightening to see how many people seem not to. Particularly so many who consider themselves "good Christians."
