6th Day of Thanks&Giving - Food

Yes, I love it. All kinds. My favorites: Mexican, Thai, Indian, and good old southern home cookin'. I think my brother and I were the only ones in elementary school that liked the fried okra - and rather than be embarrased for actually wanting to eat, I would use the ploy "dare me to eat this stuff?" Oh, and I love most things with chocolate. But before I get sidetracked, I am THANKFUL that I have enough, that I can choose what I eat, that I don't have to worry where my next meal is coming from, that my children are well nourished, that I don't have to put them to bed hungry, and that if by some small chance, I didn't have enough food - I have a huge network of support from which I could find something to eat.

Unless you've been raised in a bubble, you know that there are people all over the world (including our own country) that do not have enough food or clean water. This is just one organization that is doing a myriad of things in just one village to improve the outlook for those who live there. They are literally saving lives.
