Thankfulness

*If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed. One -third of all the world does not have access to even one.

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

*If you have never 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 harrassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.

*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 someplace, you are among 8 % of the world's wealthy.

*If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare, even 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.

*If you prayed yesterday and today, you are blessed because you blieved in Go'd willingness to hear and answer prayer.

*If you believe in Jesus as the Son of God, you are part of a small minority in the world.

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

*found this in a box of things yesterday. Hope it blesses you as it did me, Happy Thanksgiving!
