Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I read this, and I realized that I am very blessed. As I type this, my wonderful husband is here, and not deployed to a war zone. My beautiful son is growing up strong and healthy. I have a pie baking in the oven...in a home that can't be foreclosed. I have a job, as does my husband. My life is as it should be. So to all of you reading this, please know how thankful I am to have each and everyone of you in my life! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not 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 500 million people around the world.
If you attend a religious service without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed that 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 worlds wealthy.
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 read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.
May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
