If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won't survive the 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 20 million people around the world. If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world. If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head 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 you can read this message you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all. If you can 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. This was e-mailed to my wife the other day and I thought it was a good message for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to all of TF. God has blessed us all in ways we don't even know.
Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for the obvious things, family, friends, health, etc. But what I am most thankful for right at this moment is that LSU is 3 games away from hoisting another piece of crystal. We will NOT be denied!
