Guest guest Report post Posted October 7, 2007 Oh my gosh Stephen how beautiful and how true these words are! Thank you ever so much for sharing this with us and for reminding us how blessed we are! It is something we all need to read every day to remind us and to live by it! Thank you my dear brother! Love, Katherine Stephen AKA Master Condrey <stephen.condrey@ med.va.gov> wrote: Part of my formula for losing the Ego's control on my life involves expressing Gratitude. I received the lovely info below by email and thought I would share it with all of you! It reflects the way I try to 'refocus' if I start to feel Ego's grip! It is called: You are so Blessed! If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million 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 three billion people in the world. 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 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 two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all. You are so blessed in ways you may never even know. Blessings to You! :) Stephen C. ------------ --------- --------- --- Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with FareChase.
