Thanks & Giving…The Blessings I Have in 2012

A Happy Thanksgiving to All…

During the past few days I have been very thoughtful about all I have to be thankful for…the regular things like family, loved ones, friends, and my life come to mind of course…but there is so much more that I, and probably you, have to be thankful for on this, my favorite of holidays…

I woke up this morning with more health than illness…so I am more blessed than the million who won’t survive the week…

I have food in my kitchen today, clothes on my back, a roof over my head, and a place to sleep…so I am more blessed than 75% of the people in this world who do not…

I have never had the pangs of starvation…so I am more blessed than the 20 million people who are hungry today…

I have a job I did not have this time last year, so I am luckier than the 8.8 million who have lost jobs during the financial crisis.

I have never experienced the danger of battle or the loneliness of imprisonment…so I am more blessed than the 20 million people who are experiencing it today…

I can go to my little church on this tiny island today without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death…so I am more blessed than the 3 billion people who cannot…

I have money in the bank, a little in my wallet, and spare change in a container…so I am among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy…

If you can read this today…you are more blessed than the 2 billion people who cannot read anything at all…
