Attitude of
Gratitude
If
you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof
overhead 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
woke up this morning with good health you are more fortunate than
the million who will not survive this week.
If you
have never experienced the danger of battle unfolding all around
you, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the
pangs of starvation... you are ahead 500 million people in the
world.
If you can
attend a church meeting without fear of persecution, harassment,
arrest, torture, or death... you are more blessed than three billion
people in the world.
If you can
read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people
in the world that cannot read at all.
