Hi.
I was looking at a devotional book and I found this really amazing devotion:
Blessed
If you own just one Bible, you’re abundantly blessed. One third of the world doesn’t even have access to one copy.
If you awoke this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people in our world who won’t even survive this week.
If you’ve never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you’re ahead of 500 million people around the world.
If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, or death, you’re more blessed than almost three billion people 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’re richer than 75 percent of the people in this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you’re among the top 8 percent of the world’s wealthy.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you’re blessed because the majority of the people in the world can but don’t.
If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them, or touch them on the shoulder, you’re blessed because you can offer God’s caring touch.
If you can read this, you’re more blessed than over two billion people in the world who can’t read anything at all.
