Count your blessings

I saw some statistics the other day comparing the rest of the world to the USA. I knew we were comparatively better off, but did not realize just how big the gap is. One thing interesting was the telephone. One third of the world population has never even used a telephone. Imagine something as indispensable as that. One third of the population of Africa has AIDS. Imagine that…

China, Russia, Asia, South America, Africa, all are plagued by poverty, starvation, poor sanitation, unclean drinking water, poor electrical systems, pollution, education systems that are lacking, and primitive medical services. We are blessed here in the United States. We also do not have a repressive government and can worship wherever and whenever we please.

I mentioned that I saw a shirt the other day that had the words: “Too blessed to be stressed”, inscribed upon it. Amen!

Psalms 43: 5
Why are you cast down, my
soul?
And why are you disquieted
within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him.
