Inspirational Some Thoughts For National Friendship Week:

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people,
with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something
like the following

There would be:

57 Asians
27 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be non-white
30 would be white
70 would be non Christian
30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would
be from the United States.

80 would live in sub-standard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the
need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly
apparent.

The following is also something to ponder:

If you woke up one morning with more health than illness, you are more
blessed than the million 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
somewhere, you are among the world's wealthy.

If your parents are alive and still married, you are very rare, even in
the United States and Canada.

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 who cannot read at all!

Someone once said what goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you have never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it is Heaven on Earth.
Remember, when you see someone pass by in a Rolls Royce and say "How the
other half live!" that you ARE the other half!

It is National friendship week.
Send this to your friends…….

Pass this on and brighten someone's day.

Nothing will happen if you decide not to pass it on. The only thing
that will happen if you DO decide to pass it on, is that someone might
smile! because of you.

Happy friendship week everyone!
