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 attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment
arrest, torture, or death
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in 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


You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know















If you are feeling blessed, repay the blessings bestowed unto you and do something for others



A blessing cannot be kept. If it stops with you, then the blessing will disappear. The blessing will only keep working if it is continuously passed around. If you are a recipient of a blessing, keep the blessing working by being the source of blessing to other people
