Fw: your blessings

[Richard Norris]

Your Blessings

ÝÝÝÝ If you woke up this morning with more health than
illness...you are more blessed than the million who will not
survive this week.

ÝÝÝÝ 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 in the world.

ÝÝÝÝ 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.

ÝÝÝÝ 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.

ÝÝÝÝ 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.

ÝÝÝÝ If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very
rare, even in the United States.

ÝÝÝÝ 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.

ÝÝÝÝ If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on
the shoulder...you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.

ÝÝÝÝ If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing
in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more
blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
ÝÝÝÝ Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to
remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
