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 whohas 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 wrong doings.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and be thankful you’re alive and still around.

Life is a gift, live it, enjoy it, celebrate it, and fulfill it.
