Have you ever stopped to think about the food
you throw away,
Food that could nourish all our children that
haven't eaten today....

There's hunger throughout the world, and there
is so many that have not been blessed,
For those we need to share our kindness,
For those we need to do our best....

So stop and think the next time, as you throw
those leftovers away,
Stop and say a special prayer for those
children that haven't eaten on that day....

Maybe when you do your shopping, you can
find it in your heart, to buy a little
extra for those children in your prayers,
Weather they be close to home, or many
miles apart, pick up that extra can and
put it in your cart....

Do your acts of kindness, for this you
cannot fail,
So take that little extra you bought,
and place it in the mail....

Write on! This is the time of year when everyone traditionally seems willing to give a little bit more. Now if we can keep up this spirit and momentum all year long....imagine the results.
Your message is a good one.

The best way that we can show our gratitude for our many blessings is to share with others less fortunate. Good thoughts, Sharon!

I'm sure there is enough food on the planet for everybody, dont you think. I believe that's what everybody in Afghanistan has against America.

There may be enough on the planet, getting to it seems to be the problem.....My attention spans more on the American children
here in the USA that are doing without, while our goverment seems to focus more on hunger across the seas'......I hate to hear of any human being going hungry, when there is so much wasted money floating right above their heads...
