Subject: Fwd: LIFE IS A GIFT
There was a blind girl who
hated herself just because she was blind. She
hated everyone, except
her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.
She said that if
she could only see the world, she would marry her
boyfriend. One day,
someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she
could see
everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her,
"now
that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked
when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her
boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her
saying.
"Just take care of my eyes dear."
This is how
the human brain changes when our status changes. Only a few
remember
what life was like before and who's always been there even in the
most
painful situations.
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.
