Here are some points to think about and put into perspective for yourself:
- If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the MILLION who will not survive the week.
- If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or even death... you are more blessed than the THREE BILLION people in the 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 can read this blog... you are more blessed than OVER TWO BILLION people in the world that cannot read at all.
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 refrigeratior, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% OF THIS WORLD.
Have a good day everyone and whenever you find yourself taking a turn for negative town remember that you truly are blessed.
