假使你今晨醒來

少病痛更健康

有百萬人卻活不過這星期

你比他們更受祝福

假使你從未經歷戰爭的危險

禁錮的孤獨

拷打的痛苦

飢餓的折磨

你就走在這世界2億人的前面

假使你參加教堂的聚會

而不懼怕騷擾、逮捕、刑求或死亡

你幾乎比這世界裡的30億人更受祝福

假使你的冰箱內有食物

你的背上有衣物

你的頭上有屋頂

並有地方睡覺

你比這世界75％的人更富有

假使你在銀行、在錢包裡有錢

並在某處的盤中分享零錢

你就入列這世上富豪的前8％名單中

假使你的父母仍有婚約並活著

你是稀世珍寶

特別在美國

假使你抬頭面對微笑

真誠地感謝萬事萬物

你是受祝福的

因為大多數的人可以

但多數人不會這麼做

假使你可以握著他人的手

擁抱他們

或是碰觸他們的肩膀

你是受祝福的

因為你能賜予上帝的

具有療效的觸碰

假使你能讀這訊息

你比世上超過20億的人更受祝福

因為他們完全無法識字

你總是廣受祝福

或許，你從不知道

祝福你！

後記：這封由朋友轉寄而來的email深深觸動我的內心！於是，將它翻譯成中文並加以編排與大家分享。真的，或許我們從來不知，我們總是廣受祝福的，而成天抱怨這，抱怨那。能多活著一天，呼吸這新鮮的空氣，實在是上帝的恩典！

以下是原文（英文）：

You Are So Blessed!

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 peop le
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 your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially in the United States.

If you hold up your head with a smile
on yo ur 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 can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that can not read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.

Blessings To You!
