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.
