Modern and Former Blessings
It is easy to take blessings for granted. I am warm, well-fed, healthy in body, with a secure job, recognition in my field, a wife, children, undivorced, and with no fear of violent death or immediate fear of natural death. Yet I take all that for granted.
It’s interesting that in modern America being warm, well-fed, and with no fear of violent death or immediate fear of natural death is almost universal, unlike in earlier times. But in earlier times having a secure job, a wife, children, and no divorce was almost universal, unlike now.
