Madaz Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 here is a little text i was made aware of this morning this is ment for nothing but to remind us when we complain there is allways sum one more worse off THANKFULNESSBecause we need to be reminded - the following is something to ponder - • 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 3 billion people in the world. • 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 some place - you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. • 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 read this message - you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all. Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we really are.

kralster Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thats a good reminder. I've had a shocking past fortnight and have been feeling sorry for myself, and it seems as though nothing is going right and everythings a mess, but at the end of the day i'm still very blessed.

prof_dls Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Its good to get a reality check like that sometimes because it is so easy to get caught up in your own little world. I know that after my accident even the most simple things can be the most important. I wouldnt want to be anywhere else in the world - proud to be an Aussie!
