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 is 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 wished they had your 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're alive and still around.

And Before you complain about your stammering
think of someone who is dumb.
