圖文翻譯：
回想您的祝福，每個人都有許多，不隻想著您過去的不幸，因所有人都有一些。 -- 查爾斯 迪根生
我的心哪！你要稱頌耶和華，不可忘記他的一切恩惠。 -- 詩篇103：2

很喜歡Johnson Oatman Jr.的歌“Count Your Blessings (數點您的祝福)”。 我選了歌的第一節並翻譯於下：

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

當你連遭生活的巨浪暴風打擊
當你失望，心想一切都失去時，
數點你的祝福，一個接一個地說出，
你會很驚奇神已經為你做了多少。 

好友 Alicia 曾寄給我“Count Your Blessings (數點您的祝福)”的短文, 我收藏至今，今晚將短文翻譯如下與大家分享。感恩神賜予的諸多祝福！

若您今天清晨起床，感覺身體狀況良好…您比這一天將離世的人多了許多祝福。
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.

若您從未經曆過戰爭的恐懼，監牢的孤苦，折磨的痛楚，或饑餓的煎熬…您的境況好過世上七億人。
If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .. You are ahead of 700 million people in the world.

若您去教會時，不受騷擾，不擔心會被逮捕，折磨或處死，您讓世界上30億人羨慕，比他們更有福氣。
If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people In the world.

若您的父母還健在，且保持著婚姻 … 如您這般有福氣的人很稀少。
If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare.

若您可以抬起頭微笑，這不普遍，對那些存疑或絕望的人來說，您很獨特。
If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair.

若您能讀到這個信息，您就收到了雙倍的祝福，因為有人想著您，您很特殊，而且您比世界上20億文盲更有祝福。
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all. 

若您有食品在冰箱，衣服在身上，頭上有屋簷，有地方睡覺，您比世界上75%的人更富有。
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. 

若您有錢在銀行，錢包裏，或有少許備用錢，您是世界上8%最富有的人之一。
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

若您能在您私人電腦上收到這個信息，您是世界上 1% 擁有此機會的人之一。
And if you get this on your own computer, you are one of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.

祝您今天快樂，數點您的祝福，並提醒其他人，我們都是很有福的人。
Have a good day, count your blessings, and remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

因為多給誰，就向誰多取；多托誰，就向誰多要。（路加 12:48b)
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. (Luke 12:48b)
