No Electricity
It was raining cats and dogs last night, and after a series of lightnings, the power went off. We went to bed early and my kids slept without the fan or air-conditioning and it’s a rare experience for them. I was wondering if they would have a good night sleep but the rain helped cooling the room and it was not that hot.
That caught me thinking, what if my kids were to stay in a place without clean water, electricity, hygienic environment and protected by concrete walls. How are the lives of thousands of children out there who cannot have basic needs like these? Have you ever wonder and teach your kids about being thankful, blessed, and stop whining over some toys that they can’t get?
I guessed last night was a good experience for them. We used the candle before bedtime, and they were so curious about the fire that brightened the room. Gee….I got to find some books that relate about being more contended with life so that I share them with my kids.
