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.
