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.
