My friend sent me this in an email, and I felt I had to share it, sooo sweet.
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 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 read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.
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.
I wanted to share this, because so few people realize just how lucky they are. So share the luck and do something nice for someone else today.
