That title is so true. We are told this almost every day of our lives. But do you really believe it? I didn´t, but now I do.
Here are a few things that we´ve gone without here in Peru:
Beds
Running water
Communication
Privacy
Personal space
Electricity
These are just a few things. But we went without so much more than that.
I learned on this trip that I am so spoiled in America. We have so much and we take it for granted. I´m not saying that it´s bad to have everything that we have, it´s just bad to take it for granted. God has taught me to be grateful for everything… Including rice, beans, and chicken everyday. At least it´s food.
So all I ask from you the reader is that you think about the things in life that you take for granted, and start to be thankful for them. It´s hard to do sometimes. I know that from experience, but you´ll be amazed at how differently you look at things when you are grateful for everything.
Dear God,
Thank you for this amazing opportunity to serve you and the people of Peru. Thank you for everything that I have, big and small. Thank you for this team, my friends, my family, my pet dog Henry. Thank you for allowing me to live in America. Thank you for everything!
Amen
¡GRACIAS PARA TODOS!
