Do you see how lucky you are?
How blessed you are with every little thing
We get so caught up when things go wrong
That we forget to take a look at what is going right.
If you have a house, not many have one.
If you live in your childhood home, some have never had a stable home.
If you have a bed, some have to share one bed with 3 others.
If you have a room, some have never had their own.
If you have a car, many take the bus or walk long distances.
If you have a job, some have felonies and have to make dirty money
Others don’t qualify because they’ve only had up to a 3rd grade education.
Others don’t even have the motivation to look for a job.
If you have a phone, some can’t afford a phone bill let alone a phone.
The warm water coming from your shower, some have to travel for a bucket of water and ration it for shower/food for their whole family
Some can’t afford to pay their electricity, so they take freezing cold showers.
You have a toilet, some have a hole in the dirt.
You have access to public/private education, some don’t.
If you speak clear English, some are embarrassed to speak because of their accent.
Some can’t speak English at all.
If you speak clear English, some are embarrassed to speak because of their accent.
Some can’t speak English at all.
If you have traveled, some only live life knowing their own city.
You have a unique voice & power to make a change, others don’t.
All these beautiful things in front of you, count your blessings.
