I joined a friend on a birthday celebration at an orphanage home today.
Many gifts were given to them: Biscuits, donuts, carbonated soft drinks, malt drinks, toilet rolls, buckets, books, a water tanker, money…. and the list goes on.
Guess what was most appreciated?
Water. Pure water.
To think that the packs of water were even an afterthought. Yet they became the source of the most gratitude.
It reminds me again of how basic our needs really are and how forgetting the basics is what makes us ungrateful.
