Blessings

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,

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.
