Life is A Gift

I receive this in my inbox and thought i would share it. sometimes when life gets too overwhelming we ask why me yet there are so many others around us who are suffering or who are not as lucky. Sometimes its always easier said than done but i think if we reflect and are reminded of the little blessings we can pick ourselves up and make ourselves feel a little better if not entirely. Here is a little passage on life to think about ...

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 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 complain about cleaning your house, 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, and those who wish they had your job.

And 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 well.

Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it.
