The basics

Today I am grateful for the basic things in life that we all take for granted. I am thankful for clean water to drink, a roof over my head, and food to eat. If you honestly think about it these are the basic things we need to live and I am grateful that I don't have to worry about them everyday. I know there are millions of people around the world that do have to worry about this and it hurts me. There are thousands of people in the United States alone that have to decide between paying rent and putting food on the table. I wish I could reach out and help every single one of them, but I know I can't.

Due to the economic uncertainty of the time we live in more and more people have to make this choice and many people who never imagined they would be in such a situation.
So today I give thanks for the basics and I believe we all should.
