I Love This....

If you woke up this morning with more health then illness you are more blessed then the million people who won't survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loniness of inprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pains of starvation, you are ahead of 500 hundred million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without the fear of harrassment, arrest, torture or death you are more blessed then 3 million 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 the world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, or spare change in a dish somewhere you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthist.
If you hold your head up with a smile on your face and are truely thankful, you are blessed because the majority can but most do not. 
If you can hold someones hand, hug them, or touch them on the shoulder, you are also blessed because you can offer the healing touch.
If you can read the highway signs on your travels this week then you are more blessed then over 2 billion people in the world who can't read at all.
Count your Blessings and know just how blessed we truely are!

Sidenote: My stepdad Maury sent this to me in November 2011 shortly after he was diagnosed with the "C" word. 
He inspires Me.
