Count Your blessings

This 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 meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death... you are more blessed than three 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 someplace... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.  If your parents are still alive and still married .. you are very rare, especially if you are from the West.  If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all. So, the point is, just count your blessings!! God has given you a lot more than you can ever  thank Him for. Edited from http://www.beautifulislam.net
