We Are Blessed
Jun/0990
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who will not 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 500 million people around the world.
If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, or torture of 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 some place, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare, even 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 of us can, but most do not.
If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.
When you compare our day to day problems with bigger problems around the world our troubles may not seem so large.

Life is all about counting one’s blessing, leaving behind what you can not attain at the moment, with that, you will believe that you are truly blessed.

it is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed for his compassion never fail. they are new every morning.

I want to pray the Lord for the needy, the wondered, the poor, the wretched,the bereaved, the sick, the weak, widows, orphans, prisoners. oh Lord please attend to them individually at any time they call on you for help. help them to find solace in you.
AMEN.

You know most of us “luck alot”,we think!…not until you read such amassage and you wakeup.In most case we forcus at the things of the world and we forget the one who gives it.Yet he says seek the kingdom of God first and others will follow.
Thanks alot for the massage…may God always be the first in our hearts and not worldily pressures coz they can’t satisfy us like he does.
God bless u.

Sometimes GOD gave us a reminder to get back to Him, and pray. through sickness.But in a lot of ways, you are so much blessed , you have lots of LUXURIES in life that others don’t have. I am blessed to have YOU in my Life, and a job, and saved money, to be able to travel and visit you every year. But most of all, WE are so BLESSED, that GOD has given us the best of health, to achieve our dreams. I Love You , my BabyB, HUGS AND KISSES…….J …ROOpach….AUS.

One day I was grumbling and muttering about something in my life…and I heard a small voice say to me “What’s your problem.” It was just like someone in the room…I laughed at myself and said to the “voice”… I have No Problem…compared to the millions of people in the world who are sick, hungry and innocent…I immediately felt blessed for everything that I am and have and thanked GOD and asked for forgiveness…Try saying it to yourself…It works !!! Bless you.

I remind myself every day that God said he would meet our needs, not our wants. I am sooo thankful that God has always met my needs, not my wants, but my needs. I may not have always had the food, clothes or shelter that I wanted but I have always had the ones I needed. God is good. I believe that if you trust in Him and do His work…he will meet your needs. He has never let me down. And I know He won’t. I try to never take it for granted and always remember to say, “Thank you.” I would like for everyone who reads this to remember to pray for me that I can always live in God’s Perfect Will. Thanks and God Bless.

Love: This is to remind you that you are already doing something for GOD by your loving messages…
Aaron: How delightful to know you are 14 years old and already know that you are truly blessed by GOD.
Saralene: DON’T GIVE UP… keep trying…sometimes it is just a SINGLE number or word that won’t let you on. If you find a word “contact us”, then log on to it and send them your message. Good Luck !!!
Teessa: You are right on…I grew up very poor and some of the happiest children that I knew were much happier than the “rich” ones. GOD feeds our souls also.
Blessings…I hope I made your day… Elizabeth W.
2:44 am on January 27th, 2010

Indeed we are blessed, but it takes really beautiful poems like this one 2 realise just how much. Someone said that if God is your focal point, your circumstances become trifles, but if your problems are d focus, ur ugly circumstances are magnified. Put ur trust in God only!
8:27 am on February 7th, 2010
God is not just good, God is not just better, God is beyond our comprehension.
*Amen*
10:59 pm on February 22nd, 2010

6:52 am on February 23rd, 2010
To whom it may concern
Pls. dont view below words as just something ‘musshhy’.
It’s straight from a loving heart.
If Kisses were water, I’d give you a sea.
If hugs were leaves, I’d give you a tree.
If LIFE was a planet, I’d give you a galaxy.
If friendship was life, I’d give you mine.
