Thanksgiving Blessings

BE THANKFUL FOR OUR BLESSINGS

 

 

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 woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the millions 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 3 billion people in the world.

 

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 2 billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.

 

You are so blessed in ways you may never even know.  Home Search Solutions wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving!

You don't need money in your pocket. You need to be full of joy, gratitude is riches. No debt is being rich. Happy is priceless.

Messages like these are not posted or spoken often enough.  Thank goodness there is a season that reminds us all to slow down and be thankful for what we have!
