I am indeed blessed !

Today, my dearest colleague presented me a powerpoint she make herself. She wanted me to know I am blessed and consider very fortunate. I have seen the verses before, and in fact I have been searching for this verses a few nights ago, trying to cheer up a fellow blogger who is also and still living in sadness. I am most touched by her act, also knowing that she have spent a lot of effort on it, evening selecting the right song for it. I am convinced, I am indeed blessed.

I hereby shared the verses with all of you :

You Are Blessed

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the million who won't survive the 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 20 million people around the world.

If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
You are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back,
a roof over your head 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 your parents are still
married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially 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 God's healing touch.

If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.
