(No) Food for Thought

Think about this: it's physically uncomfortable to go without food for a time. But in our part of the world this willing sacrifice and spiritual discipline is something we can choose for ourselves and we deal with the discomfort ourselves.

But what about the mothers in the world who not only fast simply because they have no food for themselves, but must deal with the harsh reality of having nothing to offer their babies and children? Not only can they not give up their portion for their children, they don't even have the choice. As a mother myself, that reality is impossible to think about facing. A sobering reality indeed.

Let's not let our comfort blind us to those in need and how we can help.
