Life Is a Gift

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.

She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend he was always there for her.

She told her boyfriend, ' If I could only see the world I will marry you.'

One day someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came
off she was able to see every thing including her boyfriend.

He asked her , "Now that you can see the world will you marry me?"

The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight
of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The
thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to
marry him.

Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: Take good care of your eyes my dear for before they were
yours they were mine.'

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only
a very few remember what life was like before and who was always by
their side in the most painful situations.

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 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 when depressing thoughts seem to get you down . . . . . . Put a
smile on your face and thank GOD you're alive and still around
