“If you have
a family that loves you,
a roof over your head
and a warm meal,
you’re doing better
than you think”
We go about our normal lives
and do not always think
'about this'.
It is often
not until some difficulty
crosses our paths
that we realize
just what we do have.
We can choose our friends
but not our family.
However,
without our family,
we may not fully appreciate
the good in our friends.
And think about the fact
that most of us have a family,
whereas many are raised
in an orphanage and have no family.
We are Blessed.
Most of us have a home
to live in,
which is warm
and dry
and cozy.
A homeless person
would like a roof over their heads
if only for one night.
We are Lucky.
We go about our day
‘expecting’ a warm meal
at some point
during that day.
And yet,
the very poor still live amongst us
and may only be able to afford
one hot meal a week.
Can we share our meal?
It can be
quite an eye-opener
when we think about
these things.
Again,
it comes down to
having a Grateful Heart and
Appreciating what we do
personally have
in Life.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
