| This is something I have always said to my kids when ever they complain about not having something....If they say something like "why don't we ever have......(whatever) for supper My response is..."Do you have food in your stomach?" and they say yes then I always say..."Then you have enough" and yesterday my friend sent this to me and I thought it was perfect and so true and in the moment. |
