Have you ever been hungry for more than a day? Two days tops, perhaps?

Yes, I have. It was awful. I was poor and out of food for some time but thankfully, God provides for His children when they are in need. Even if deliverance itself take some time. It does teach me about contentment and motivate me to help those in need.

I once stayed hungry for 62 hours continually because agitators in a jungle because of a strike call stopped the train I was traveling in for three days. The driver drove away with the engine and generator van stopped working after some time.
There was nothing to eat in miles around. The water available was not drinkable and the items the villages brought to sell were either too strange looking or non-vegan. I did not eat unless the train started and reached to next station where I got some thing manageable to eat. That was horrible experience in a hot summer, no AC, water or food.
I wish I can forget this nightmare as soon as possible but I am not sure I would ever be able to do so.

That is sooo awful. Just imagine how those hungry people in Africe deal with hunger. I'm sure some of them went on for days without food. Pity them! Anyway, what kind of food did the villagers try to sell? I think I'd just eat anything as long as it looks good to chew on.

i haven't experience being hungry for two days but everytime i see in the news that many of our fellowmen who have no food makes me feel so sad..i feel blessed because God doesn't allow things like that will happen to me.Give thanks to God every small or big blessings, and never ever waste food.be contented whatever you have.

That's really really wise to not waste food, even leftovers. I tend to feel guilty doing that. It hurts me much seeing some people just couldn't care less about their leftovers. Some of them didn't even touch much of their food and they can just leave!

Really, I'm not joking! I'd rather not share what actually happened, but I learned how very important plain water is! I drank lots of water. When I finally have food I ate like a pig!

Gone with the hard days, I believe you would have better life now. I did get hungry about two days before. It wasn't that I was poor or don't have the money though. It was just I was in this state of lost and confusion that I did not eat anything and did not even sleep for two nights straight. I have no idea what was disturbing me but it made me forget about eating and sleep.
