Perspective...

Good to keep as we enter the new year...these are all third hand from another post who got them from a book...just thought I would share them as well...

• If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of the world's population.
• If you have a little money in the bank or spare change in a dish someplace you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy.
• If you can drink from your kitchen faucet whenever you want...you are more fortunate by far than 1.5 billion people who have no access to clean water at all.
• If you can attend a church or a political rally without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death...you have the kind of freedom denied to more than three billion people in the world.
• If you can read this message, you are more blessed than two billion people who cannot read at all.
