When there is much to complain about THAT is a time to remember A FEW THINGS TO BE
THANKFUL FOR:
1. Clean Water. One in eight people around the
world don’t have access to clean water. When you take a five-minute shower, you
use more water than a typical person in a developing country uses in a whole
day. I’m thankful for clean water!
2. A Bathroom. I still think plumbing is the
greatest technological invention in the last millennium. Did you know that
about 40 percent of the world's population don’t have toilets? It’s a
major cause of disease and death around the world. Thank God for
toilets!
3. Electricity. Electricity is definitely #2
(right after plumbing) on the list of greatest inventions. Statistics say
that 1/4th of the world does not have electricity. I can barely even imagine what
that would be like. I’m thankful for electricity!
4. Food. Statistics say that about 990
million people in the developing world are malnourished—many of them are
children and die of actual starvation. And here in America, we have an
obesity problem. I totally enjoy eating. As for many of us, it’s my
second favorite thing to do. Thank God for food!
