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 for a companion.

Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who died before they could really live.

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 any job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another -Remember that you, too, have done things to be on the receiving
end of a condemnation before, and are far from perfect.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
smile and be thankful that you have a mind to think with.


Life is a gift,
Live it,
Enjoy it,
Celebrate it,
And fulfill it.






I read these words and cannot help but let a tear fall from my eyes........and I think.......I AM SO BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!
