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 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 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 God's healing touch.
If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed. 1/3 of all the
world does not have access to even one.
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 you prayed yesterday and today, you are in the minority because you
believe God does hear and answer prayer.
If you believe in Jesus as the Son of God, you are part of a small
minority in the world.
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over 2 billion
people in the world that cannot read at all.
Be thankful to the Lord!
