Thankful

BE THANKFUL
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 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 harassment, arrest,
torture, or death... you are more blessed than three billion people in
the world.
If your parents are still alive and still married ... you are very rare,
even in the United States.
If you can read this message, you blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Happy Thanksgiving….BE THANKFUL!!!!
