There seem to be endless options for food in our country: restaurants, fast food, grocery stores, frozen food, and millions of recipes if you are the type that likes to cook. What I am most thankful for is that fact that my kids are nourished. Jack is an extremely picky eater. His go-to meal is PB&J. It frustrates me to no end that the boy does not eat, but at least his consumption or lack there of, is his choice.
The number of hungry people in the world, particularly children, weighs heavily on my mind during the holiday season. The pictures coming back from the Phillipines are unbearable. I can't fathom waking up one morning to whole cities flattened. Parents are left with no resources to provide for the basic needs of those who depend on them the most. It's just awful.
There are plenty of ways to help both here and overseas. If everyone does a little something, then cumulatively we can make a big difference.
We finally met our new niece tonight. She is adorable. Here she is with Jack:
Tonight I am very thankful that my kids, and little Alex, are going to sleep with full bellies.
