We see people still suffering from lack of the basics. We witness people who spend most of the day just searching for decent water to drink.
I think of this good fortunate and feel somewhat guilty that I am not more appreciative of what I have, and the only real difference between the have and have nots is often their place of birth .
Lord thank you for these many gifts.

I agree. We gave up our McMansion and like many came here, bought much smaller and are happy.
