THink about this for a moment.
You have a roof over your head, food on your table, the bills are paid, you have luxuries like a cellphone, vacations, a laptop. You drive a car you own. You can buy clothes whenever you want; go out to dinner at a nice restaurant. Go to the movies.
Do you ever think you’re blessed because you have all that? Or do you just accept it? Take it for granted because it’s always been that way?
Here are some statistics that might surprise you – or may not.
9.2% of the global population live in extreme poverty with half the world’s poor children under the age of 18.
In this country, 37 million Americans with 1 in 6 being children, live below the poverty line, don’t have enough to eat, don’t have adequate access to health care, clean water, even a roof over their heads.
Now, tell me: are you still taking the things you do have for granted?
