I've ben thinking for the past week of what to write in my blog, and I know I had a good idea, but I forgot to write it down and have no idea what it was. But something else came to mind yesterday, and that is how grateful I am that I have food. I have never gone without food. I have never been in a position where I could not acquire food. There was once an Ensign article about a branch in Africa that was having a hard time fasting because of the counsel to fast for three meals. For the members in this branch, they only had one meal a day, so that would mean fasting for three days. They wanted to fast, but it wasn't healthy. They asked a visiting general authority what to do, and I believe he counseled them to fast for just one meal, a full day. What faith! I always love hearing about the members of the LDS faith in Africa and other nations across the globe because I feel they understand true faith and humility. I would love to meet them.
So, to sum things up, I am blessed. And I thank the Lord for it.
