Just before sitting down to write about something I am thankful for, I finished a bowl of homemade cheeseburger soup that I had prepared for us today. And my thoughts are overwhelmed with gratitude for my full refrigerator and pantry and the crockpot full of delicious, warm soup that we will be working on over the next few days. I have been so fortunate my whole life to never have gone hungry and never to have to watch my children go hungry either. My dad knew destitution and hunger as a child, and he would share stories to teach us to be thankful and to take care not to waste what food we had. I hope I always remember the lessons he taught us about being grateful for something as basic as food because not everyone has their basic needs met. Food is basic but a blessing, and I am so thankful for it.
