There is regularly something to be thankful for however it’s easy to forget that fact.
This is especially true when you’re going through trying times, however last year, I went on a missionary trip to a small country for almost a month.
I had a lot of fun as well as I was happy to be able to help the people in need. However, I entirely realized how great all of us have it here in the US. It was odd how happy other people could be with so little. It was on this mission trip that I realize that you can be happy with almost nothing. It also taught myself and others to be thankful for our air conditioner systems here in the developed world. That month I did mission work was a month without air conditioner. It was also a month in a single of the hottest areas of the Earth… When I got back to the US, as well as back to my home, I was so happy to just rest in front of my cooling system as well as suppose the nice cool air once again. I started noticing all of the little things that I take for granted every day, air conditioning is just a single of them, clean running water, indoor plumbing, as well as access to healthcare are also things that I take for granted. Many people in the world do not have these things. I do not mean to come across as a single of those Americans who talks about people in other countries as though they are lesser as well as in need of our help either. That is actually not the case. All of us just happened to live in a venue that is at a odd phase of development (one with air conditioner) that has all.
