"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 somewhere,
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
just 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
who cannot read anything at all.
*
You are so blessed in ways you may never even know."
