Gratitude (day 11): every needful thing

I'm grateful that my children have enough food to eat, clothes to wear, blankets to keep warm, a roof over their heads, toys to play with, books to read, opportunities to go to church and school, parks to play in, friends and family who love them. In our materialistic society and especially with all the ads during the holidays it is easy to focus on what we are lacking or where we could use upgrades. But really, we have everything we need and I am grateful for that.
