If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million 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 pains of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people around the world.
If you can express your beliefs without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are 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 are richer than 75% 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% of the worlds 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.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer God's healing touch.
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.
This is just sad. To think that I am blessed...:-(

One of my good friends just died of cancer. I thought, how
unfortunate, but it makes me realize, people die every day, we are
lucky for all those things we can do, it makes you take things less
for granted.

I think we should be grateful to Allah (God) and count each and every
blessing He has showered upon us and be truly grateful to Him.

everyone one is gods child and thats the luckiest,, but not all are
very fortunate.circumstances and situation in life can sometimes
destroy us,, inspite of having all the money in the world. so its a
suggestion take it or dump it.respect each other lives we all are the
same.
