"TO BE THANKFUL"
           May God Bless

            1. If you own a Bible, you are abundantly blessed
            about 1/3 of the
            world does not have access to one.

            2. If you wake up each morning with more
            health than illness, you are
            blessed to rise and shine,
            to live and to serve in a new day.

            3. If you have anyone on the planet,
            just one person that loves you and
            listens to you--count this a huge blessing.

            4. If you can freely attend a church
            meeting without fear, then you are
            more blessed than over 1/3 of the world.

            5. If you have a yearning in your
            heart to parent a child, you are
            blessed because you still desire
            what you cannot see.

            6. If you pray today or any day, you are
            blessed because you believe in
            God's willingness to hear your prayer.

            7. If you pray for someone else,
            you are blessed because you want to
            help others also.

            8. If you have food in your frig,
            clothes on your back, a roof over
            your head, and a place to sleep--
            all at the same time--you are rich in this
            world--about 1/2 of the world
            is not this wealthy.

            9. If you have a brother or sister
            in Christ that will pray with you
            and for you, you benefit from a
            spiritual unity, bond, and agreement,
            which the gates of hell cannot stand against.

            10. If you have any earthly family
            that even halfway love you and
            support you, you are blessed beyond measure.

            11. If you attend a church with a church
            family that offers you one
            word of encouragement,
            you are blessed with some form of fellowship.

            12. If you have money in the bank,
            in your wallet, and some spare
            change in a dish someplace, you
            are among the world's wealthy.

            13. If you can go to bed each night,
            knowing that God loves you, you
            are blessed beyond measure.

            14. If you try each day to imitate
            our Lord Jesus Christ for even a
            minute, you are blessed because you
            show a willingness to grow up in Him.

            15. If you can read this message,
            you are more blessed than about 1/3
            of the world.

            16. If you have never had to endure
            the hardship and agony of battle,
            imprisonment, or torture, you are
            blessed in indescribable measure.

            17. If you have a voice to sing His praises,
            a voice to witness God's
            love, and a voice to share the gospel with,
            you are blessed--about 1/2
            of the world does not even know
            who the one true God is.

            18. If you can hold someone's hand,
            hug another person, touch someone
            on the shoulder, you are blessed because
            you can offer God's healing touch.

            19. If you can share a word of encouragement
            with someone else, and do
            it with His love in your heart,
            you are blessed because you have learned
            how to give.

            20. If you have the conviction to stand
            fast upon His Word and His
            promises, no matter what,
            you are blessed because you are learning
            patience, endurance, and tenacity.

            21. If you hold up your head with a smile
            on your face and are truly
            thankful, you are blessed because
            most people can, but won't.
