Is life too good??

I'm away camping at the moment. Love the ability to type a post while so far from civilisation! I have a love/hate relationship with my smart phone. Yesterday, I was collecting small sticks with my 3 year old for the campfire. He ran back to his daddy to show off his collection, leaving me under the tall pine trees, observing my family from afar. What a beautiful moment! Was speaking with God in that moment also, thanking Him for His gifts in my family. I reassured Him (or myself?) that even if they were all taken from me, I would still praise His name. Was good to say that aloud. Suddenly I remember those who are killed for His names sake. Locked in jails, seperated from family and lived ones, persecuted heavily. Here in Australia, life is not so difficult. Besides loosing the respect of a few mates perhaps, we have life very easy as belivers. So what are we to do with this freedom? The gift of being born where we are? "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake if the Good news, you will save it. And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?" Jesus Himself spoke this Himself to the crowd and His disciples. What does this look like in living? In real life? Am I fulfilling this calling? Being here, camping, am I being selfish? Or is it right to pass onto my children the desire to get out of routine and enjoy the natural surroundings? Is life meant to be harder than this God? We complain and grumble when we don't instantly get what we want in this cushy part if the world. But to us who is given more, is more expected from us? More freedom? More finances? More love? Show me what is expected please Father...
