Thank you for the thankfulness list Glenda - I will pass it on. Marged| | | Be thankful | | The following is something to ponder.............. | | If you woke up this morning with more health than | illness...you are more blessed than the million of those | who will not survive this 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 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 three billion people in the world. | | If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on | your back, a roof overhead 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 alive and still | married...you are very rare, even in the United | States. | | 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 healing touch. | | If you can read this message, you just received a | double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, | and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two | billion people in the world that cannot read at all. | | | | | ==== NORTHERN-ENGLAND Mailing List ==== | An alternative mailing list for genealogy research in | Northern England, this list covers the whole of the North of England | | --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
