I see the homeless people out in this freezing cold sleeping on benches or sitting on milk crates with signs to collect money. It breaks my heart but I always pause and give thanks for everything that I have.

This reminds me of the saying: "A man felt sorry for himself and looked down and saw he had no socks. Then he looked at the man next to him, and that man had no feet.

We all are very fortunate to be wealthy and healthy enough, to be grateful for what we have. It's the people, who have fallen on hard times, that need help.
