Who has enough money to help the poor and oppressed?

So who has enough money to help the poor and oppressed?

I’ve always thought the following brings perspective:

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, and in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...you are more blessed than the millions 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 pain of starvation...you are better off than 500 million other people.

If you can attend a meeting at a church, synagogue, mosque or temple without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more blessed than two billion people in the world.

If you can read this … you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

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