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.
