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.
