INSPIRATIONAL

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,                    If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
in your wallet, and spare change                  or even touch them on the shoulder,
in a dish someplace, you are among             you are blessed because you can
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.               offer God's healing touch.

If your parents are still married and alive,      If you can read this message,
you are very rare,                                               you are more blessed than over
especially in the United States.                        two billion people in the world

If you hold up your head with a smile             that cannot read anything at all.
on your face and are truly thankful,                You are so blessed in ways
you are blessed because the majority can,    you may never even know
but most do not.
