If you have food in the 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,in your wallet and spare change in a dish somewhere,you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
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 not experienced the danger of battle,the lonliness 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 meeting without fear of harassment,arrest,torture or death,you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married,you are very rare,even in the united states.
If you can hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful,you are truly blessed because the majority can,but most do not.
If you can hold someones hand,hug them or even touch them on the shoulder,you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.
If you can say what you want without fear of going to jail,you are more blessed than 3 billion people in the world who cannot express opinions freely.
