Gratitude # 4
December 9, 2021
We’re thinking this month of reasons to be grateful that we often overlook. I appreciate Karen Mulder’s list on her website, Wisdom of the Wounded. Here are two I often overlook. ‘If you woke up this morning with more health than illness. . . you are more blessed than the million people of this world who will not survive the week.’ If you can read this message . . . you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.
I am gaining great hope and courage each day reading the Word of God. In most of the countries I visit, many women are illiterate. They can only know God as someone else tells them of Him. Let us give thanks that we can read.
