Gratitude

In light of seeing what many people in the informal settlements live without, these are the things for which I am truly thankful:

> God's unfailing love, grace and mercy
> The love and support of my family
> A steady family income
> A safe and warm place to call home
> Clean running water in the house
> Legal electricity
> Healthy food options
> A refrigerator and stove
> Readily available healthcare
> Good schools for the girls
> Being able to shower and brush my teeth on a regular basis
> Transportation
> Clothes that fit (relatively)
> Shoes without holes
> A bathroom in the house
> Bedrooms
