If you woke up this morning
with
more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won't
survive the 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 20 million people around the
world.
If you attend a church meeting
without
fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than
almost three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your
refrigerator, clothes on your back, a
roof over your head 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 married and
alive, you
are very rare, especially 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
are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot
read anything at all.
You are so blessed in ways, you may never even know.

May joy and hope
surround you,
contentment latch your door,
and happiness be with you now
and forever. |
