I’m thankful for food. Food can be such a centerpiece to different events in our lives – from Thanksgiving dinner to Sunday morning breakfast. Food brings us together and makes up happy. I’m glad we such a variety to choose from and enjoy. Having a husband that is a chef is a definite perk too. He’s introduced me to so many foods that I would not otherwise have tried. I have always enjoy learning a little bit about a culture from their foods.
Even more than the variety though, is the fact that we have food. I’m thankful that I do not have to worry about how I’m going to feed my family and where my next meal is coming from. When Mitch says “Mama- I’m hungry”, I can get him a snack. Evelyn doesn’t have to worry that there won’t be food in her lunchbox. As painful as it to think about, there are so many people that go to bed hungry every night. These are people that have to choose between paying the mortgage or buying food. Parents that go hungry so that their kids can eat. Children that dread school breaks because they depend on the breakfast and lunch served there. It could happen to me and my family. It can happen to anyone. So I’m thankful that today I don’t have those worries. I wish I could do more to help those that do. We donate to Food Banks and round up at Kroger, but someday I hope to do more.
