Here's a post that a Facebook friend shared. I thought it was really good.

Why Me? Life's Not Fair!

Intro to the intro: So it's a while since I have subjected the facebook masses to one of my letters. Don't let the title scare you. This is not a pity party, and, you might be surprised to know, this doesn't have anything to do with my normal political rants. I've been thinking about this for the last month and, with Easter quickly approaching, this seemed like a good time to write. Maybe this will make each of us a little more thankful for what we have.
Have you ever found yourself asking the question, "why me," and then following it up with, "life's not fair?" I know I have, but maybe we should ask it more often. Maybe we should ask it every day. Maybe, for me, it would go something like this.
Why was I born in the greatest nation in the world? There is about a 1 in 23.3% change of that happening. "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Why was I born healthy and why have I been blessed with good health while many others are not so lucky? "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Why was I born into a Christian family with Christian parents that took me to church, sometimes against my will, and taught me the difference between right and wrong, and corrected me when I made the wrong decisions? "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Why did I get the chance to go to good schools and then to a good college where I could have a chance to determine the path that I would walk? Why did I have the opportunity to succeed when so many others struggle escape the life they were given? "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Why do I still get to go home to a loving household with a mother and father when half my friends and students come from broken or single parent homes? "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Why do I have a roof over my head with plenty of the luxuries like a warm bed, a microwave, a dishwasher and washer and dryer (that I seldom use), and all the comforts of home, while others look for a blanket for warmth or a dry place to lay their head at night? "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Why do I have multiple jobs where I can not only earn a living, but also enjoy the experience while others search for anything so they can put food on the table? "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Why am I surrounded by friends and family that love and care for me while others feel as if they are all alone? "Why me? Life's not fair!"
Is my life perfect? No. Do I have struggles? Yes. Have I faced difficult times and challenges in my life? Absolutely! Isn't that life, though? When my car won't start, or a friend lets me down, or my whole day just falls apart, does that mean that life's not fair? To me that is what makes life a little more fair! God has blessed me far more than I ever deserve! Life would be greatly unfair if I never had the bad day or the unfortunate event, or even the occasional great disappointment or tragedy that we all have to face.With this being the start of Passion Week I can't help but wonder what Christ thought as He faced what He knew would be the most difficult and last week of His life. If anyone had a right to exclaim "why me" He did. However, as He prayed in the garden, He said, "not My will, but Thine be done." The next 24 hours He faced betrayal from His closest friends, false accusations, public humiliation, great disappointment, and ultimately the most horrific death anyone could imagine. He was God. He had lived a sinless life. Yet, in the end, He gave everything in order to make my life on earth better, and my eternal life in heaven possible.
Some of you are going through some difficult and dark times right now. It may seem like there is no hope and the world is caving in around you. Remember, however, that this is not the end of the journey, but only the beginning. Through Christ we can have hope and peace in the middle of life's trials. As we celebrate Easter this week I challenge you to ask "why me" in a whole new context. Why would Christ die for me? Why has He given me so much? When you put things into context those "why me" and "life's not fair" moments that we all have seem to be much more manageable! When the bigger problems come and the tragedies of life blindside us we can turn to Him and know that "life is worth the living just because He lives."Have a Happy Easter everyone, Tim
