Hi again I loved reading this. I thought that we all need little reminders to keep life in perspective! ----- Original Message ----- From: Grey Skills To: Helen Taylor ; John & Jean Taylor ; Living Waters Christian Centre ; Nicholas Grant ; Nick Grant ; Nik Buffham ; Nigel Humphries ; Paul Cowey ; Peter Van Rij ; Stuart Batty ; Vernon Ralton ; Tom Duggan ; Terry Houghton ; Shabbir Nashrulla ; Sandra Chammen ; Ruth Martin ; Russell Allfrey ; Ray Huatorpet ; Peter Rumens ; Peter Booth ; Paul Collins ; Noeline Connell ; Myron Givets ; Murray Wigley ; Malcolm King ; Lorrainne Webster ; Lew McKirdy ; Leslie Batchelor ; Len Millward ; Ken Parkes ; John McGowan ; John Mathaias ; John Jephson ; John & Betty Tippett ; James Roche ; Ian Douglas ; Helena Lackie ; Helen Kroger ; Grey Skills ; Gerry Leaper ; Geoff Carson ; Gavin Bullard ; Felix Lai ; Elane Robinson ; Dianne Phelan ; David Chilvers ; Clive Henderson ; Brent Ferguson ; Brendan Ross ; Bob and Mary Hooker ; Allan Turner ; Allan Heinisch ; Achyut Man Malla ; John Harris ; Geoffry Ing Sent: Wednesday, 1 November 2000 13:37 Subject: Fw: 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 tortures, 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 deaths...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, even in the US. 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 healing touch. If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you. and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all. Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
