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
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 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

Hi Angie,

Thank you for this beautiful and insightful post. I agree with Shaun that sometimes we do forget how lucky we truly are. I hope that many more people see this, read it, and remember it. Life is a wonderful gift, and we should open it with as much enjoyment as we can.

I don't know if you have read any of my blogs, but I wrote two about friends of mine who have passed on. The first one I wrote on November 6th, and it touches on this post, and how much we should appreciate what we have. It is called "In Memory of Friendship", and is in the Faith blogs. I think you might enjoy reading it.

Have a wonderful day Angie!

Tom

Food for thought and thankfulness. A daily reminder we should all touch on - we do not appreciate what we have - thank you - Merry Christmas!
