Something to Ponder-read

If you have food in the refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof overhead
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 woke up this morning with more health
than illness … you are more blessed than
the million who will not survive this 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 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear
of harassment, arrest, torture, or death … you
are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

If your parents are still alive and still married ..
you are very rare, even 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 healing touch.

If you can read this message, you just received a
double blessing in that someone was thinking of you,
and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two
billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass
this along to remind everyone else how very blessed we all are.
