You are Blessed

Just wanted to share with you these thought provoking messages I received through email. Indeed, we try not to take GOD's blessings for granted and give thanks to HIM each day for all the blessings He bestowed upon us. But, being human as we are, there are times that we forget about the little blessings that are of great importance in our lives compared to those who have less or nothing at all.

IF YOU WAKE UP THIS MORNING, with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the millions who will not survive the week.

IF YOU HAVE FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent 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 percent of the world's wealthy.

IF YOUR PARENTS ARE STILL MARRIED AND ALIVE, you are very rare especially in the United States.

IF YOU HOLD UP YOUR HEAD WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE and are truly thankful of your life and all the things you have, you are blessed more than those who does not know how to say even a word of thanks.

IF YOU CAN HOLD SOMEONE'S HAND hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer GOD'S healing touch.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony or 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, torture or death, you are blessed than almost three billion people in the planet.

IF YOU CAN READ THIS MESSAGE, you are blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read anything at all.

YOU ARE BLESSED in so many ways you may never even know.
