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 for a companion .
Today before you complain about life ,
think of someone who went early to heaven .
Before you complain about your children ,
think of someone who desires children but they are barren .
Before you complain about cleaning your house ,
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 , and those who wish they had your job .
And 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 are alive and well .
