My kids and I have beens sick for almost three weeks now and I was feeling sorry for us because the doctor made us wait it out before getting antibiotics. Turns out we needed them and now we're getting better, but still I'm thankful we can go to the doctor and then the local pharmacy when we need medicine. It made me think of the pictures from Haiti where kids are dying because they don't have medicine. Can you imagine being the mom and watching your child be sick and not being able to do much about it. I'm thankful today for what I have been blessed with in life. So many people do not have even the basic necessities of life.Judy @ southern style home decor.comhttp://www.southernstylehomedecor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-61804315246150745502010-11-17T10:02:00.131-05:002010-11-17T10:02:00.131-05:00while you confessing about your shower... i was th...while you confessing about your shower... i was thinking about my showers in africa... how careful i had to be... not to get water on my face, in my mouth. and once i got home i was totally thankful for the beauty of my own shower (however unclean it may be!) but in three months... i have forgotten the gratefullness. thank you for reminding me!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037135437820258553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-28909550180063790572010-11-17T08:55:33.743-05:002010-11-17T08:55:33.743-05:00This post is an eye opener for all of us that have...This post is an eye opener for all of us that have taken life - and all that encompasses - for granted. My "ah ha" moment came 5 years ago when I almost died and had to be patient with my journey back to health. That time of my life, that season, taught me so many lessons. I'm still grateful, every day, for God taking me to my knees. Yes, I'm thankful, more thankful than my words can even describe, for God giving me another chance to see life the way He wanted me to see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-29492761470114229072010-11-17T07:59:19.501-05:002010-11-17T07:59:19.501-05:00I try to think this as much as I can.

They just stared in amazement at our kitchen, which isn't particularly huge by english standards. Eventually one of the girls said, "In Russia, 3 families live in room this size." One of the others, staying with a friend, pointed to the floor and asked, "What is this please?" My friend said, "It's carpet Sasha." His response was, "Oh. In Siberia, we do not have this." Humbling, to say the least.Autumn Misthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13970884029498352422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-7017330463492039632010-11-16T22:26:48.068-05:002010-11-16T22:26:48.068-05:00Thank you for this wonderful reminder.
