So Blessed...

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the 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 20 million people
around the world.

If you have food in your 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 someplace, you are among
the top 8% 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,
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 can
offer God's healing touch.

If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.

I got this off an email from one of my buddies, and it speaks on how blessed we are. So much had happened in this world recently, from the shocking London bombings to the increase in world oil prices. Things are changing at a pace far beyond what can be comprehended. I pray that those of you who read the above excerpts, will feel blessed, and may the grace of the Lord fall upon all of you, dear friends. I have alot more to say, but I'll keep it for later. :P Take care and I'll be BacK...
