r you...
I wish fu...
I wish for you...
comfort on difficult days
smiles when sadness intrudes
rainbows to follow the clouds
laughter to kiss your lips
sunsets to warm your heart
gentle hugs when spirits sag
friendships to brighten your being
beauty for your eyes to see
confidence for when you doubt
faith so that you can believe
courage to know yourself
patience to accept the truth
and love to complete your life

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness ...
YOU are more blessed than
the million 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 in the world.
If you can attend a church 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 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 somewhere ...
YOU are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
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 read this message ...
YOU are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world
that cannot read at all.
Have a good day and count your blessings!
