What advice have you for the bigger issues? Your points are all still valid of course, but I just find it so much more exhausting to have hope in, say politics or the state of the world, or an end to hunger. I KNOW that my concerns in these areas will be resolved if nothing else, when the Lord comes again, but I often find myself resolved to simply accept that this is the world we live in (ooohh oh oh, and these are the hand were given, just kidding)and far from motivated to DO anything about it. These BIG problems are hard to EVER feel like you are putting a dent in! I think it is easy to have that attitude in the small things, like playing a musical instrument.
