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. One day, her boyfriend asked her to marry him. She said
that if she could only see the world, she would marry him.
One
day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her . She was able to see everything for
the first time, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her,
"Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"
The girl was
shocked when she realized that her boyfriend was blind, and refused to marry him
.
Her boyfriend walked away in tears. Later, he wrote a letter to
her saying: "Just take care of my eyes, dear."
This is how some
people change when their status changes. Few remember what their life was like
before and those who have always been there for them, even during the most
painful situations.
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 to their grave too early.
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 is 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.
Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And
fulfill it.
