Thankful Thursday: Hunger

Hungry people in the world - 2010

Following on from my thoughts the other day about people not wanting to wake up because they may be facing another day of starvation I was wondering a few days ago what to have for my dinner.  There was nothing in my well-stocked larder and fridge that I particularly fancied at that moment.

I suddenly thought just how lucky I am.  How lucky anyone reading this blog is.  There are over 900 million hungry people in the world - Hunger Notes.

I don't have to ask whether I can eat today.  I don't have to ask what I can eat today.  I have the luxury of saying to myself 'What would I like to eat today?'

I should be thankful for the least of those options but that I have the choice I am truly thankful.
