This is a poem from a young Christian in Africa ...sent to us by e-mail.
Please read AND digest...
'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 harrassment, arrest, torture. or death,...you are more blessed than almost 3 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 percent 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 percent of the world's wealthy. !
If your parents are still married and alive,you are very rare,especially in the U.K. and U.S.A. !!!
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 someones 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 2 billion people in the world who cannot read anything at all.!
You are so blessed in ways you may never even know!
from Ms.Gertrude Chepkok, Nakuru, Kenya, E.Africa.
