Just how Blessed are You
Do
you have reasonable HEALTH – Sight, hearing, sense of smell, your own
reasonably good teeth?
Just
remember that over 1 million people will die this week of one illness or
another.
Health
is a great blessing
If
you have never had to fight a BATTLE; if you have never been tortured; if you
have not been thrown into prison just for being who and what you are; if you
have never suffered starvation
Just
remember the millions of those who have suffered these things.
Peace
and freedom are great blessings
If
you can go to church FREELY and openly and if you have never suffered
persecution for your beliefs
Just
remember the billion or more who cannot go to church or who are persecuted for
their faith
These
things are a great blessing
If
you have sufficient FOOD at home, and money in your pocket and some to spare
Just
remember that over 90% of the world envies you
God’s
provision for you and your family is a great blessing
If
your parents are still MARRIED; if you can smile and do just because; if you
can hug someone and bring God’s healing touch to them
Remember
the billions who can’t do these things
Every
day freedoms and faith are a great blessing
If
you had any EDUCATION at all and can read and write
Just
remember the billions who cannot do these things at all.
Education
and all that goes with it is a great blessing
When
we count our blessings, start with these, then add the rest. You are far more
greatly blessed than you often think.
Thank
you Lord \o/
I am considerably blessed. Abundantly blessed. Joyously blessed. This morning, I woke up in Aruba, atop of all the other blessings God has bestowned up on me, and my child had made it safely home from her travels to New York. When I am in the midst of a particularly challenging situation, it gives me great comfort to count my blessings and realize that God has not left me begging bread nor forsaken me in my time of travail. Great post.
