A Great New Years message from Ted:
With all the negativity and fear in the
world right now, it's easy to forget our many blessings.
I was inspired
when I received a Christmas card from a good friend in Germany that
described several of the examples I give below. I added several more
and, as a valuable friend, I decided to share them with you.
If you have:
- Healthy food in the refrigerator
- A solid roof overhead
- A safe place to sleep
- Clothes on your back
You are richer than 75% of the people in the world.
Plus, think of these life-serving benefits:
 |
You can choose a mate of your choice |
|
Support any charity you choose |
|
Discover new things in the two best ways known to man: (1) reading; (2) traveling |
|
Choose or change your career, not just once, but several times in your life if you wish |
|
Experience the rewards of parenthood or adoption |
|
Befriend outstanding people from whom you can learn |
|
Improve your biggest asset—your health—via your diet and exercise habits |
|
Listen to the world's best music live, on CD and digitally downloaded |
|
Discover the joy of dancing if you so choose |
|
Learn to appreciate the amazing beauty of nature |
If you have money in the bank and in your wallet--you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
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 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death…
You are more blessed than 3 billion people in the world.
If you can read this message, you just received a
double blessing. You are not one of the world's 780 million people who
cannot read…
A couple you know is thinking of you and wishing you the happiest and most blessed New Year of your life.
Warm regards,
Ted Nicholas
