Blessed to be a blessing

Monday July 4th, Genesis 12: I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. The blessing to Abraham was that all the world would be blessed through him. That all the world thing was hard to swallow so his children on through the generations decided to narrow that focus. Most of us are still trying to narrow that focus. It seems to work for us, we have wars and famine, we can stand by while genocide is happening. We live in a nation where the top 1% of the population owns 38.1% of the wealth and the bottom 40% of the population owns 0.2% of the wealth (distribution of wealth 1998 www.levy.org/docs/wrkpap/papers/300.htm) How does that fit into the concept that we are all the children of God? How does that fit into the command to love your neighbor as yourself? How does that fit into the concept that we are all brothers and sister in Christ?
