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 is 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.
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.
