Being in Chimbote tends to make us more appreciative…

Chimbote, Peru, village
Thank you for the fridge, for the water that arrives because we turn a handle and not because we fetch it from the creek, for solid walls that protect us from the weather, for the carpeted floor, for interior walls that give us privacy in our homes, for indoor bathrooms, for the food in the cupboards, for the grocery store that overflows with food we didn’t need to grow ourselves. Thank you for the car that gives us so much independence, for the privilege of work that is accessible to us.

 

Thank you, Lord, for so many of the gifts we have that are so commonplace we typically don’t give them a thought, and yet are not available to all of Your children.
