There are just times in our life that we are so ungrateful that we forget that we are so blessed by God in so many ways but we fail to realize it. I received this as forwarded message in my email. I hope you will also be blessed by this.
“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.
You are so blessed in ways you may never even know.”

I also received a forwarded message like this one…truly most people do not realize how blessed they are, they worry about the silly things in life instead of the “Big Picture” or mostly the things they take for granted!

Yes. It’s a matter of perspective. Most of the times we fail to realize that they have been very blessed its because we are so caught up in our own little world that we forget the blessings that we enjoy day to day.
