From cyberspace a few years ago:
----------
You are more wealthy than you imagined. Keep an eye on your blessings as they grow to spread across the land.
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 can attend a church or any public meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death.......
you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a good 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 do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder.......
your are blessed because you can offer Your healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
At our home this year, we will be counting our "Thanksgiving" blessings.
