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.
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
