Blessings

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,
feel a tad stronger and lesser than sick,
you are more blessed than the one million people,
who would not be able to survive the week.

If you have never experienced the lonliness of imprisonment,
the scariness and danger of battle,
the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of twenty million people around the world.

If you attend a church meeting without fear of arrest,
of great harassment,torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost around
three billion people in this world, no less.

If you have food in your refrigerator,clothes on your back,
a roof over your head and a private place to crap,
a car to drive, money to enjoy beer,
you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank and in your wallet too,
spare change lying around in a dish somewhere,
you are among the top 8% of the well-to-do,
in this world where poverty the rest has to bear.

If you hold up your head with a smile
and you truly feel thankful,
you are blessed because while
the majority can,yet most do not do.

If you can read and understand,
you are more blessed than alot of them,
for around two billion people in this universe,
cannot read, cannot write, cannot converse.

We are truly blessed.

Please do not take anything for granted.
