It was a hard week in TX, Alhamdulillah by the grace of Allah my family is all OK. While we did lose power and water for some time we had plenty food and water stored, and were able to keep our home warm enough. Many families were not so lucky.
This experience gave just the tiniest taste of what some families face daily in war torn areas of the world. No food, no water, no power, but they still have mouths to feed. That’s why when I decided to create Better World Bites I wanted to donate some of the proceeds, to help those around the world who suffer daily. InshAllah we can all learn from this experience; our lives will likely return to “normal” in a short time, but for many around the world they don’t have the luxury of knowing when they may have clean water, power, or even a bite to eat.
I also am grateful for the blessings that came with this challenge, such as the extra family time we had this week, and the reminder to stay humble and be grateful, because everything that we have in this world we have by the grace of Allah, and at any moment it could be taken from us.
Also, here’s a picture of the snow cat I made with my daughter, I tried to make a snow man but she kicked it over 🤷♀️
