Thanksgiving Blessings.....

I found this in a magazine recently and thought that is was so good I had to put it up for you all to pass on too.....

Be Thankful

Consider the following facts.
Then count your blessings.

~~~~ If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep.......you are richer than 75 percent of the people in the world.

~~~~ If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace.......you are among the top 8 percent of the world’s wealthy.

~~~~ If you woke up this morning 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 a head of 500 million people in the world.

~~~~ If you can attend a church or other place of worship with out fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death.....you are more blessed than three billion in the world.

~~~~ If your parents are still alive and still married.....you are very rare (and your parents too!) {Tyren and I are both very rare...his parents have been married for 59 years and my parents have been married for 46 this January}

~~~~ 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 who cannot read at all.

~~~~ Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

It’s not that some people have willpower and some don’t. It’s that some people are ready to change and others are not.

The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn’t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.

Today is truly a blessing...no one is promised tomorrow. Make the most of what you have today and be thankful in all things. Tell the ones that you love that you love them and those that you care about that you really do care. You may never get that chance and regret it. So to my friends and family I truly do love and care about you and that you are all in my life, some I see every day others a lot less often, some I have never met in person (Hi Stephanie) but know that I love them and care about them and are great cyber friends!! I've lost friends and people who I truly cared about and loved in one way or another...(yes "D" if you are out there, that would mean you!) I miss them deeply, but I know that I am truly blessed for all that are in my life and those that have come and gone. For knowing them has made me the stronger person that I am today and I know that I can! No matter what it is I CAN.....
So as we approach this day of Thanksgiving please consider all the blessing that you have and truly be thankful for them.

Blessings,
