Thread: a little something to think about

Life is a Gift

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's crying out to God for a companion.


Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to the grave.


Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they are 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 a 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 are alive and still around.

Me too.

But what would we talk about?

Seriously, I understand exactly. Sometimes it takes a horrible event in our lives or a close call with death for us to relate to all of that.
