As I spend more time with Wilma, I realize how much I take for granted. Wilma is a WONDERFUL person and cares so much for everyone she comes in contact with. She and her husband are both pastors and work hard. Anyway...
Think about what you ate this week. How many meals were from a restaurant? How many were just heated up in a microwave?
Wilma and her family go out to eat at a restaurant one time A YEAR! The rest of the time, they eat at home. The average Uruguayan family does not eat out regularly.
Also, I asked her about a microwave and if she knew of anyone who had an extra one that I could use for the year. She said no, microwaves are very expensive and very few people have them here.
So, next time you go to eat, thank God for what you have, because I know we all can take things for granted. Maybe even think about eating in more often and saving money and donating it to a local charity. :)
