We are blessed!

We are Blessed!
If you own just one Bible, you are abundantly blessed because one-third of the world does not even have access to one.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not 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 five-hundred 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 somewhere, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.

If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare.

If you 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.

If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them, or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer God’s healing touch.

If you prayed yesterday and today, you are in the minority because you believe in God’s willingness to hear and answer prayer.

If you believe in Jesus as the son of God, you are a very small minority in the world.

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 think you are the only one hurting and feel that the world is putting you down, think again.

Sometimes we call the problems upon ourselves, and it takes an act of will to get out of the rut in which may be at the moment.

Recognize the many graces in your life and you will know that you really have been blessed; more than you or anyone in this world can ever imagine.

Not a normal weekend.

Hi guys, I'm writing this right after I got home from my karate class. I just graduated to yellow belt and I feel pumped...not exactly in a violent way, more like a flex in the mirror kind of way. Anywho now that I am done trying to earn my yellow it's now time to start cracking on my blue belt yeppidy doo no relaxation for me. Anyways, this past friday I became sick yet again...it wasn't anything serious, I had chills for a while and then got this pretty bad headache. So the next morning I slept in and didn't go to church because A: I wasn't feeling well and B: My grandmother had fallen late last night and my parents (before I had awakened the next morning) went over to her house and then took her to the hospital...so they took x-rays and all that stuff and they found out she had a fractured hip which basically put her out of commision for a week. So after staying in the hospital saturday and sunday she was released and on monday night (last night) we made went to her house and ate dinner with food we brought and my mother stayed the night to take care of her (I had no ride to digital art, so I had to miss it) and this entire tuesday I woke up with no one home and basically did school on my own and just chilled and around 4:00 my mom came by with some pizza. Dad came home from work to get ready to leave again and after dinner me and my mom went to karate and that brings us to now. My grandmother still needs care at home so that is why my aunt is staying the night there then my mom will stay again tomarrow night annnnd that's pretty much my weekend. I really have to hand it to my grandmother, before she has broken both her hips and has for awhile walked with no cane or walker and still is up and about always helping us. I find it extremely hard for her, at her age to do what she does. Which is why I love and respect my grandmother so much despite her age (soon to be 94 in spring) She has outlived all twelve of her sisters in which she is the eldest and sews for a living with arthritis.

Changes

Hey guys...it has been awhile since my last real post so I hope this can make up for it. I decided to make some changes that might get changed again and again...I never make up my mind on what I want. The heading/title picture is my family crest and Ne Oublie stands for "Do not forget" I thought it was a savvy addition to my blog. As for my life in general I recently started a class at my high school in digital art which is coming along nicely. I recently got my KC pictures developed also so I'll post some of those on here a little later. So umm that's about it, I'm going to go clean out the disastrous mess in my room and watch some super bowl tonight--sounds like a plan ; )
