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 your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare, especially in the United States.
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.
If you are feeling blessed, repay the blessings bestowed unto you and do something for others.
A blessing cannot be kept. If it stops with you, then the blessing will disappear. The blessing will only keep working if it is continuously passed around. If you are a recipient of a blessing, keep the blessing working by being the source of blessing to other people.
