David,

We need this kind of corn and blessing today. Organizations try to distribute 
food to hungry people but run into many obstacles and pirates. Yes, and some 
give their lives in this work. It is a sad world and yet it still retains many 
of the blessings from God for us to be thankful for. None of us would receive 
anything from God's hand if it were not for the loving sacrifice of Jesus. 
Through the cross we receive all our bounty. It is the reason every person 
enjoys life--whether Christian or not.
