Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of
someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of
someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of
someone who’s crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went
too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children – Think of someone who
desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or
sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone
who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of
the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another –
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to
one maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile
on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.
Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And fulfill it.
