Count Your Blessings!
If Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people;
6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire worlds wealth,
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 person would be near death.
1 person would be pregnant
1 person would have a university education
1 person would own a computer
If you live in a good home, have plenty to eat and
can read, you are a member of a very select group. And if you have a good
house, food, can read and have a computer, you are among the very elite.
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 have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back,
a roof overhead 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 alive and still married....
you are very rare.
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 at all.

Re: Count Your Blessings!
MashaAllah may Allah reward you for posting such a simple yet remarkable reminder, we constantly worry about what we don’t have not realizing how much we have and I am guilty of this.
May Allah make us those who have Taqwa (God consciousness) as that is the only way one would recognize what a blessing is.
