Sometimes life needs to be put into perspective. Last night I was reading the Ensign, and I got to an article about the humanitarian work that the church does, and some of it's special programs. It made me so grateful to live where I do in a developed country where I do not have to worry about the basic needs of life.
I do not have to worry daily about if the water I am drinking is disease and parasite free, I always have food to eat, and I have a clean nice home to live in. Sometimes I forget that some people spend everyday of their lives trying to get just these simple things. They don't work their whole lives to save up for that huge home, or that fancy car, or anything else, they simply work every day to keep their children from starving, or dying from one of many other causes.
I am just so grateful to have the things that I do and to have been born into a wonderful family, in a great country. I have been very blessed. :)
