Count Our Blessings


I was walking home late on night recently when I saw an old lady squatting on a bench with a thin t-shirt pulled over her knees that were tugged to her chest. She obviously was going to spend the night in the cold there. She looked very much like the women in the picture except that this woman has a blanket. What was more heart-wrenching was that this old lady had a child beside her...

This sight really jolted me back to reality. Whatever your circumstances are, the fact is that we are all living in a life that 80% of the world who live in poverty can only dream of.

Count our blessings. We may be surprised at how many things we can be happy for :-)
