Life Is a Gift
Today
before you say 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 and the traffic you’re in,
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 wish they had your job.
But
before you think of pointing the finger or condemning
another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.
And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and think: you're alive and still around.
