Your Abundant Life
Very Often we go through daily life focusing on what we don't have, what our challenges are,
what we can't do, what we lack, etc. Our minds can become a ferris wheel ride of negativity.
What if we were to just for one day turn off that ride and focus on our joys, our acheivements,
our blessings, what we are grateful for? It is amazing the shift that can occur by simply and
consciously choosing to remain in a state of gratitude. Give it a try!!!
Here is a short article I found that helps begin that process and puts things into a clearer
prespective...
Your Abundant Life
The following is something to ponder...
If you have food in the 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, spare change in a dish someplace... you are among the
top 8% of the wealthy.
If you woke up 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 your parents are still alive and still married you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold your head up high, with a smile on your face and are truly thankful... you are truly 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... because you can
offer a 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.
As you read this and are reminded how life is in the rest of the world, remember just how blessed you
really are!
