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.

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 fulfil it.
