IF YOU…THEN YOU…
A Midweek
Spiritual Workout with
Fr. Marino
H. Msigala, OFM Capuchin
IF YOU…THEN YOU…
If you have
food in your fridge,
Clothes on your back,
A roof over your head
And a place to sleep,
Then you are
richer than 75% of the entire world.
If you have
money in the bank, some in your wallet,
And a little spare change
Then you are
among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.
If you woke
up this morning with more health than illness,
Then you are
more blessed than the million people
Who are sick and will die this week.
If you can
read and understand this message,
Then you are
more fortunate than the 3 billion people
In the world, who cannot read it at all.
If you have
never experienced the danger of battle,
The agony of imprisonment or torture,
Or the horrible pangs of starvation,
Then you are
luckier than the 500 million people who have suffered them.
Life is not about complaining
Life is about the thousands of reasons
To be grateful and happy.
On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, think
about five things you are grateful for and thank God for each. Remember that
the more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you'll realize all that you
have to be thankful
for.
