30 Days of Thankfulness

So, I was challenged by a fellow classmate to join him in blogging 30 days of Thankfulness. It seems like a great idea. However, I am late. Oh well...better late than never.

Today I am thankful that my husband and I can provide for my family. I joined some fellow colleagues at the Hope Luncheon at the Regional Food Bank. It was a very powerful experience. I have never been hungry. I mean the true hunger where your belly hurts so bad you cry. Sure, I have had to fast for medical procedures like getting my wisdom teeth out and it wasn't fun. But, I knew that as soon as I could eat, there would be food available. This is not everyone's reality - and I am talking right here in Oklahoma! Not in Africa or some other far away country - right here! I am thankful that my children do not have to worry about only getting one meal a day or maybe no food at all. I am thankful that I don't have to worry about my one year old failing to thrive because he is starving to death. I am thankful that God opened my eyes to the needs of people right here in my community! And, I am thankful that He touched my heart to try and make a difference. Yes, I am thankful Lord, for the blessing of the life that has been chosen for me.
