We should be thankful that we are living in a fortunate life...

You are right at that.. I feel your sentiments.. Our family isn't very rich too, but I am so happy to share we are helping hands too.. Mom would always say, we don't need much but just enough, if we have extras, it means we can give them to those who are in need.. In my heart,I have desired of giving more, if only I could have MORE too..I sometimes think, why are some people have much but they don't know how to give.. While the people who just have enough or little extras are one's that extends and shares.. :D But of course I also know the answer.. that everyone are blessed in different aspects.. So little or big thing given and receive, it's true.. be thankful for not everyone are blessed enough to receive them.. Cheers buddy!:)

This is definitely true. We might have tons of problems but if you have a house to come home to, family waiting for you at night, a bed to sleep on and if you're able to eat 3 times a day, then consider yourself blessed. Not all was able to eat 3 times a day, others can only eat once a day, two times if they're lucky. Others doesn't even have shelter nor bed to sleep on. And heaytheblogger, that deed you've done is such a noble act. Hope others will be inspired and try to help the less fortunate whenever they can too.

That is one great thing to do! We all wish to help these people and hope that they would somehow have a means of buying food for themselves and also to have a place to live in. It is sad that there are a lot of them in the city. I am just wondering why the local government could not provide a budget for them. They should help these people to be have work so that they may be able to survive on their own. I have also gave my food away for these people. Just over a month ago there were 2 kids who jumped inside the jeepney I was riding with and started distributing small white envelopes to every passenger. I didn't want to give them money coz I know that they might use it to buy "rugby". And I wouldn't want to be guilty of being the one to push them to buy it. So what I did was, I gave the 2 packs of cookies that my son has inside his bag and handed one pack to each one.

Yes, there are lots of them kids in the streets, as well as adults. That is why we should be thankful because we are more fortunate that them. However, our government should do something for these people. What can we do to help them? It must be something big but we can afford. Do you think reporting these situations to the social works department could be useful?

It is really heart breaking to see those kids in the streets begging for food and money.We really have to be thankful will the blessings that we have no matter how small it is cause other people don't have what we have.We better be thankful and dont take it for granted cause its a blessing that we have to be thankful of.

Yes that is right. I also saw some kids when we were about to go home from mall. They asked for food to the people eating in restaurants. Very sad, indeed. Thank God for the things He has given us. thanks for this. God Bless

Kudos Honestly this always made me feel annoy and felt bad when people around us keep complaining of many things when in fact they are far fortunate than many others. People complain of small things, like shoes, bags, clothes to bigger ones- gadgets, cars, houses etc- without even thinking that there are many other people out there who cannot even afford to have one meal a day. If everyone only knows how to appreciate every blessing that they have in life- then the world we lived in is like a paradise. but- it's not.....because the world has enough to give- but not enough for those greedy beast.

What do you call a descent life? You don't know what kind of life peole have who join mylot. Since most try to make money I doubt they all have a descent life. Many here struggle to stay alive. You don't know what they look like (good thing you can't see what the people look like or how their kids look like), how many meals they have a day. There are plenty of people incl. kids who prefer to live outside on the street instead at home or in a foster family. There are plenty of people willing to give a kid a good home but they are denied by organisations which are more interested in making a lot of money as giving those families and kids a change. I don't find it painful to see if someone is out on the street since this is life and I see it every day. No matter where I am. To me it's painful I still struggle after all these years to keep my kids alive and I don't see the need to tell myself (plus them) each time again they have to be so grateful because it could have been way worse as it is now. And why such parents leave their kids on the street? Because they are forced to have them, because abortion is not allowed, because of the pointing fingers of society, because the parents are broke, because the parents or the kid hope someone else will give that kid a good life or some opportunity to a kind of future, because there are no parents and the rest of the family prefers to close their eyes, because society, the governments don't care, because this is life. You can't only blame the parents for this, plenty of parents live on the street as well, they hope for a better future as well. If each of us was willing but also allowed to help 1 other person this world was a way better place.

This is how I invite friends to join a community service which we usually do on Christmas Season for the special children in several schools in the community, "Come I will show you how blessed you are." We should really be thankful of all the blessings that we receive in our day to day existence instead of complaining at the same time, we should also devote some time to help others in need. Have a Merry Christmas!
