GRATITUDE what must any pat of the world have in order to be a good home for man? What does every person need in order to live in comfort? Let us imagine that we are far out in the fields. The air is bitter cold and the ind is blowing.Snow is falling, and by and by it will turn into sleet and rain. We are almost naked. We have had nothing to eat and are suffering from hunger as well as cold. Suddenly the Queen of the fairies floats down and offers us three wishes. What shall we choose? "I shall wish for food, because I am hungry,' said Peter. "I shall choose clothes to keep out the cold," says John. "and I shall ask for a house to shelter me from the wind, the snow and the rain," says little Nell with a shiver. Now everyone needs food, clothing, and shelter. The lives of most men on the earth are spent in getting these things. In our travels we shall wish to learn what our world brothers and sisters eat, and where their food comes from. We shall wish also to know what clothing they use to protect themselves from the heat and the cold. (text from Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by James Agee | QUOTES
I was just THINKING ABOUT YOU- not that i think about you all the time or anything- but sometimes I just can't help it. You're important to me, and when someone as great as you exists, how can I not acknowledge it in some way, such as giving you a card that says, "I'm thinking about you". |
