Heidi it is very upsetting for sure. I was just telling my kids today that they have no idea how lucky they are to have what they have.
All the things my kids take for granted, a warm bath, heat in their house, warm clothes, food, a bed to sleep in, an education and people that love them are luxuries for way too many others in the world.
My oldest kids spend part of every summer on church mission trips to a third world country so they know what life is like for others, but its too easy for younger ones to forget to count their blessings.
I don't freak them out about it but every so often I gently remind them of their blessings.
It definitely hurts your heart to see others in the world hurting.
Bless them all.
As for the weather here, still very cold and the snow is still on the ground but its suppose to get up to 49 this weekend.
