ARE YOU BLESSED

If you own just one Bible..........you are abundantly blessed. 1/3 of the

entire world does not have access to one.

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 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.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, or spare change in a dish

someplace.......you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth.

If your parents are still alive and still married........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 because you can offer God's healing touch.

If you prayed yesterday and today........you are in the minority because

you believe God does hear and answer prayers.

If you believe in Jesus as the Son of God and as your Saviour.........you

are blessed as being part of a small minority in the world

.

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.
