If you woke up this morning with more
health than illness...you are more blessed than the million
who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of
battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture,
or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 500 million
people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear
of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...
you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes
on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet,
and spare change in a dish someplace...
you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married
...you are very rare,
even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your
face and are truly thankful...
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or
even touch them on the shoulder...you are blessed because you
can offer healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received
a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings,
and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all
are.
