Slide 4:If you currently have money in the bank,
in your wallet and a few coins in your purse,
you are one of 8 of the privileged few
amongst the 100 people in the world.
Slide 5:If we looked at the world in this way,
the need for acceptance and understanding would be obvious.
But, consider again the following :
Slide 6:If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
Slide 7:you are better off than 500 million people. If you have never experienced the horror of war,
the solitude of prison, the agony of torture,
or the pangs of starvation, then ...
Slide 8:If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep ... you are wealthier than 75% of this world.
Slide 9:If you can go to your place of worship without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death ... You are more blessed than
three billion (that’s right)
people in the world.
Slide 10:If you can read this message… You are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
Slide 11:If your parents are still alive
and still married,
you’re a rare individual.
Slide 12:You are blessed because you can offer healing touch. If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder ...
Slide 13:Have a good day, count your blessings,
and pass this along to remind everyone else
how blessed we are.
Slide 14:If not me, who?
If not now, when?
