Blessings

Remember the old song “…count your many blessings, name them one by one…?”  I’ve been counting mine!  In the words of another song, “we are so blessed…”  

I hope you have a very, very blessed day!  james e. huffman

                 Count Your Blessings (from a non-attributed email)

 If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed. One-third of all the world does not have access to even one.

 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 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 overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the 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, 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 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 a healing touch.

 If you prayed yesterday and today, you are in the minority because you believe God does hear and answer prayers.

 If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

 We are blessed, we are blessed, we are blessed!
