Count Your Blessings


"Count Your Blessings
  • 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 70 percent 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 percent of the world's wealthy.
  • If you woke up 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 loneliness 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 harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
  • If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare.
  • If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...you are blessed because, although the majority can, most do not."

  2. I am so very blessed. My parents have been married 57 years. My siblings and I give credit for our happy marriages to having been raised in a beautiful one. So thankful for this list to remind me just how blessed I am.
