What else do we take for granted?
well said, and I think so many take for granted our daily bread. We really do have not just what we need, but more than we need. I read a statistic that said:
ReplyDeleteIf you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead, and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have never experienced war, imprisonment, torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million other people. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
what a perspective, we are rich indeed! thank you Lord!
