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 prayer 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 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.
