I watch the sun rise this morning. I heard only birds and drops of dew. While in another land, others woke to a different sight. The birds did not sing or at least could not be heard over the falling bombs. There was no morning dew because of the drought and famine in the land. I drew water from my sink and made a *** of coffee, while in another land children struggled to get a drink of water from a ***** well. In a land so rich and safe often we forget to have gratitude for no matter who you believe God to be, but for the grace of God go I and you. Thank God with all gratitude.
