Blessings

                            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 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 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.
