<\/p>\nWhen I\u2019m cold, I put on a sweater or turn up the heat.<\/p>\n
When my hands are dry, I rub them with scented lotion.<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m hungry, I find food in my refrigerator or eat at a restaurant.<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m dirty, I turn on a tap and out pours hot, running water.<\/p>\n
When I need to go somewhere, I drive my car or board public transportation.<\/p>\n
When I\u2019m lonely, I call a friend.<\/p>\n
On and on, my blessings are brought to my mind.<\/b><\/p>\n
Blessings that provide me with ease and comfort.<\/p>\n
I ask myself why me?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not through any merit of my own.<\/p>\n
The reply comes to me in questions.<\/p>\n
Will you provide a sweater to someone who is cold?<\/p>\n
Will you provide lotion for someone whose skin is dry?<\/p>\n
Will you provide food for someone who is hungry?<\/p>\n
Will you provide water for someone who thirsts?<\/p>\n
Will you provide transportation for someone who is housebound?<\/p>\n
Will you provide friendship for someone who is lonely?<\/p>\n
Since I have been so richly blessed, how can I not provide the same for another?<\/b><\/p>\n
Much love,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
