perspective

I just washed up, boiled the jug and steralised my babies bottles...all that time thinking of women on the other side of the world from me and all they do to look after their bubba's with the little they may have. The lack of clean water let alone water that flows into their homes..how blessed are we to turn on a tap!!!
I cant help it..its how I'm wired..everyday everything I do, I think like that..when I "want" something new, I remind myself that at least I have something old, at least I have something. Every time I eat I feel so blessed, never do I worry that I'm going to go without or that my children might die due to starvation or malnutrition. Everyday I go for a walk, never do I worry for my or my children's safety, both as a woman and also as a christian. My life is not in danger here in this blessed country that i live in.
Its about thankfulness and perspective..no matter our circumstance we have something to be thankful for!!!
