I received this in an email from my church today....I am reminded that I have much to be thankful for!
· 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 religious 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 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 healing touch.
· If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

I received this EXACT message from a teacher in 8th grade and I've carried it in my wallet ever since.

Amen.. I think a lot of people tend to dwell too much and get too stressed out over small stuff.. During the holidays we need to be thankful for the roof over our head, whether big or small... the job that we may or may not like, the the naughty kid that is Very healthy.. and the food in our fridges and pantries that we always open and say... "there's nothing to eat." etc etc etc etc!!!
