COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

IF YOU WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING TO BE CHEERFUL ABOUT, THE FOLLOWING IS SOMETHING TO PONDER ……
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 OF THE WORLD.

IF YOU ATTEND A CHURCH MEETING WITHOUT FEAR OF HARASSMENT, ARREST, TORTURE OR DEATH…..YOU ARE MORE BLESSED THAN THREE BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

IF YOU HAVE MONEY IN THE BANK, IN YOUR WALLET, AND SPARE CHANGE IN A DISH SOME PLACE…..YOU ARE AMONGST THE TOP 8% OF THE WORLD'S WEALTHY.

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 YOUR PARENTS ARE STILL ALIVE AND STILL MARRIED…..YOU ARE VERY RARE.

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 HOLD SOMEONE'S HAND, HUG THEM OR EVEN TOUCH THEM ON THE SHOULDER, YOU ARE BLESSED BECAUSE YOU HAVE OFFERED SOMEONE A HEALING TOUCH.

IF YOU CAN READ THIS MESSAGE, YOU ARE MORE BLESSED THAN OVER TWO BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT CANNOT READ AT ALL.

HAVE A GOOD DAY, COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, AND REMIND EVERYONE ELSE HOW BLESSED WE ALL ARE.
