Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread
How Rich Are You?
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep....
You are richer than 75% of the world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed 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 imprisonment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than three billion people in the world.
If your parents still alive and still married, you are very 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 don't.
If you can hold someones hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder....
you are blessed because you can offer a healing touch.
and last, but certainly not least...
If you can read this posting in the Greene Street Letters this morning, you are more blessed than over two billion people in
the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, and don't forget to count your blessings.
God on you...
