Blessed

As I was preparing for my customer service team meeting this morning, I came across this page from a seminar I attended last week. Then I thought to myself that I should have read this yesterday when I was feeling sorry for myself. Here it is:

Blessed

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the millions who will not survive the 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 around the world.

If you attend a church meeting without fear of harrassment, arrest, or death, you are more blessed than almost 3 billion poeple in the world.

If you have food in your 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 some place, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

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.

I need to paste this to my bathroom mirror so I see it first thing in the morning. . .
