on the bulletin board at the Post Office today, this note caught my eye and I read:


COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Think of it this way.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness… you are more fortunate 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 fortunate. More than 3 billion people in the world can't.

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75 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 your parents are still alive and still married… you are 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 read this message, you just received double the blessing. Someone was thinking of you; and furthermore, you can read… more than 2 billion people in the world cannot read at all.

Have a good day. And Count Your Blessings!
