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 God's 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 who cannot read at all.
Have a good
day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how
blessed we all are.
