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 died too early on this earth


Before you complain about your children......
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren


Before you argue about your dirty house someone didnt 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 think : you're alive and still around

p/s : Credits to Izah for giving me the above words of wisdom...... it is too beautiful not to be shared
