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.

Before you complain how people are hogging your space or time,

Think of someone, who's desperately searching for someone who would care.

Today before you complain about life -

Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

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.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -

Put a smile on your face and think:

You're alive and still around.

P.S. Not my work..it's a compilation someone sent me (with some of my improvisation).. Anyhoo, I thought something this good needs a bigger platform. Thanks Anjudi. much love babe!
