If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't 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 20 million people
around the world.
If you attend a church meeting
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 world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially 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 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.
You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know!!!
So, the main point of this is: Don't take things for granted. Thank the LORD for all you have. :)

"How can you not say you aren't blessed?" -- ?
I am blessed - I always know this. I just talked to my son tonight - I know I am blessed.
I just commuted home on the freeway in the rain - and lived - I know I am blessed.
I have know I was blessed for over 35 years. I just rarely talk about it - because I can't see why! So don't put a spot light on me - I am not worth for all the blessings I have gotten! Geez. SHHH!

Read what continuation? Anyway that is all true and good but there are many times in everyones personal life that they do not feel blessed. I have felt this way many times when something really serious went wrong even though I am trusting in God to be there. At those times it is hard hard hard to see the blessing. It would be a wonderful world if we all went around all day everyday and counted our blessing no matter how small. Someone with starving kids living in a shack in west virginia may find it very hard to count any blessings. There are plenty of real people right here in our own country who are in such dispair, most of us could not even imagaine what its like to be them...

In no way should any living person say that they are not blessed the woke up this morning, they have the ability to speak, think and walk. They are blessed beyond measure

What you call blessed, I call lucky...
Do I still feel fortunate? Of course, but I'm not about to say that every little good thing that happens to me is a blessing.

... I'm not blessed. Because your god "blesses" people and I don't believe in your god. Thus, according to many of the christian faith, I am going to hell and why would your god bless someone who is going to go to hell no matter what they do?
Also. I cannot go to any kind of christian church without prosicution by those inside. Because I'm not christian.

Not say you aren't... Isn't that a double negative, and probably means that you keep saying that you are not blessed and want to know how to stop yourself. : P
