If you have food in the frig, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the world.
If you have money in the bank, you are among the 8% wealthiest.
If you have a computer, you are among the 1%.
If you’ve never been in battle, in prison, tortured, or suffered starvation, you’re ahead of 700 million people.
If you can attend a church without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you’re more blessed than 3 billion people. (“What happens in heaven when we pray”)
So, how do you react to these sobering statistics?
I would like to suggest that TWO QUALITIES should forever dominate our lives:
COMPASSION-Let’s be aware of the overwhelming suffering of the great majority of our fellow human beings! And do SOMETHING to help!
GRATITUDE-This should be the operative word of our behavior!
If not today, when?
