Be Thankful. I take so many things for granted. I complain about things that would seem like royalty to others. In youth group, we were watching a video of a man who went to prison for over 12 years because he was a Christian. After years, they trusted him to go into the woods to get firewood daily. Once, he took the risk to run home, get a bible, dig a hole, hide it in the woods, and when he would go get firewood, he would read some. Somehow they found it, put a gun to his head, and asked him to confess about it, that he wouldn't do it again, etc.. he refused. They finally trusted him again and he hid another one in the cellar. They found it again, etc.. as for me? I just leave my bible on the desk.. leave it on the bed.. and I don't realize how blessed I am to be able to read GOD's word, whenever I want! That is TRULY a blessing, and so, so, so, so many people don't have that.

That is really true. Especially here in America, we take so much for granted. It seems like we complain so much, but we really are rich, many people don't even have enough food to eat and here we are complaining about school lunches, at least we have food to eat- 3 times a day and snacks in between! In 7th grade I learned that some people only get one meal every 3 days(I think that's what it was) great post Laura! :)
