I am asked many times by many people, “Dwight, why am I so blessed?” I’m asked by older adults and younger people with college educations. Most people think that we are blessed only to increase or raise the lifestyle we are presently living to a whole new level.
There is an 11-year-old boy in Dallas, Texas, who fully understands why he is blessed. Casey Rogers, former foster child “gets it”! One day while he and his father were at a Burger King in downtown Dallas, a homeless man approached them wanting money. Casey’s father shooed him away and told Casey that the man probably wouldn’t spend it on the right things. This struck something deep inside of Casey, a foster baby adopted at the age of one.
Casey was thinking, “I was just like that man; look how much y'all helped me." Because of that day, he founded Casey's Heart which now helps the homeless of Dallas. He is getting support from churches, neighbors, and even the Boy Scouts.
Casey wrote an essay about this and became the winner of the Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Essay Contest for kids who have made a difference in their communities. His prize? Triggering the April 11 implosion that will demolish Texas Stadium.
Why are you blessed with health, finances, talent, education, and the privilege to live in America? Figure it out like Casey, and your reward will be greater than triggering the implosion that demolishes Texas Stadium!
