Hunger

by Erinn

Next time your child complains that there is “nothing to eat” remind them that 18,000 children die every day because of hunger and malnutrition.
The number is staggering.

Now remind yourself that the next time you are wandering around the grocery store complaining that you don’t know what to buy.
I know I will.

    Thanks for the reminder. We get so absorbed in our own lives we forget those things.
