If You.....

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 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 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 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.
