If you wake 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 you can read this, you are more blessed than over 2 billion
people in the world who cannot read at all.
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.
So, what reason do I have for throwing a pity party? After reading this,
none. Plus the fact that I have so many more blessings on top of this. Including
the fact that of the billions of people who have lived or will live on the earth
I am one of the very few who has the blessings of the gospel in my life! I truly
do feel blessed!
