While we're in the midst of planting our crops, receiving rain periodically and enjoying the green growth of salad leaves in the sun, I can't help but think of others who might long for what we have.

I've been paying close attention to everything happening in Asia lately, and I heard on NPR about the "hungry season" in Myanmar today. In Myanmar, May is the season where the pantries are depleted and many await eagerly for the spring crops to grow into much needed food. A recent New York Times article more thoroughly explains the situation and really made me appreciate what we're able to produce and provide.
