28 Days of Gratitude: Day Eighteen - Food

I am grateful for food.  I am truly blessed to live in a country where there is an abundance of food and I have the means to obtain whatever food I desire.  That is indeed fortunate...even amazing...when you consider the alternatives.  And while I am thankful, I also have some guilt about it.  

As I had my evening treat, some delicious, creamy pecan pie style ice cream from Trader Joe's, I suddenly thought about some of those who may be going to bed hungry or malnurished tonight.  It gave me pause.  I had intended this to be a light entry in the 28 days.   I was gonna go on about my ice cream obession, binges on potato chips and any kind of pie.  I do eat lots of fruits, cereals, and vegetables.  And that's just it.  I do eat lots.  To the point of not ever feeling excruciating  hunger.  Never have.  Even as poor as we may have seemed as I was growing up, we never, ever went hungry.  There was always food on the table.

So I am grateful for food and need to stop feeling guilty about it.   I just need to do something about it.  Food is something that feeds the body, comforts the soul and is meant to be shared.  And share it I shall.  Amen.
