    Food for Thought
    If there’s food in your fridge, clothes on your body,
    a roof above, and a bed to sleep in -
    you’re richer than 75% of the world.

    If you have some money and the freedom to move –
    you’re already in the top 18%.

    If your body is healthy today,

    you’re luckier than a million people
    who won’t survive this week.

    And if you can read this,

    see this,understand this -
    you’re more fortunate than 3 billion people who can’t.

    So pause. Breathe. Be thankful.

    You are already living someone else's prayer.
