We give our thanks to God for we are always provided with what we need. There is food when we are hungry, rest when we are weary, and entertainments, enjoyable things and places for physical and spiritual refreshment and recharge.

Although Jesus said, "One does not live by bread alone" (Matthew 4:4), people do have to eat daily. The problem is not whether we eat, but rather how much and what kind of food we eat.

A main cause of these tragedies is the failure to keep a balance between spiritual and physical care and needs.
