We Are

Blessed And Lucky

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
We're doing better than we realise

“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!
