I got blessed

I got blessed

I got blessed this morning…
I woke up,
I woke up in my own bed
Safe in my own home,
Had water to shower with,
And a nice big fluffy towel,
A fridge full of food
So may choices for breakfast,
What to choose?
Choices of hot drinks
Or orange freshly squeezed,
Up dressed and fed,
The day hasn’t even started
And my day’s been so full of blessings
hiding in my ivory tower
forgot to say ‘Thank you’,
Took it for granted there would be power and light
At a flick of a switch
While others have nothing
And don’t know where their next meals coming from,
Ok, I can’t solve all the world’s problems all in one blow,
But may be I could give more from my abundance
And not pass by, on the other side of the road?

My friend got blessed today.
Woke up from his bed, a blanket on the dirt floor.
Took a cold shower with a small piece of soap for his hair and body.
Dried off with an old blue thin towel.
He gave thanks to the Lord for providing a bowl of rice, fried egg and glass of water.
Then went out and evangelized in a poor community with no hope.
Another accepted his testimony and the Gospel;
He received Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
Then he attended his night job sorting metal scraps for salvaging.
His mind remained focused on the community with no electronic or access to
The outside world.
