Liyana | Saturday, February 10, 2001 - 04:47 am Asalamu alaykum I got this from a friend which i though was very enteresting and true. DID YOU KNOW YOU WERE RARE 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 ahead of 500 million people in the world.If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, 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 worlds'wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare.If you hold your head up, with a smile on your face, andfeel truly thankful, you are blessed because most do not. If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed. If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more fortunate than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all. wasalam |
