LIFE IS A GIFT –
LEARN TO APPRECIATE IT!
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 everything, 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 to Almighty God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of
someone who died too young.
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.
Most of all; before
you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not
one of us is without sin.
Life Is a Gift –
Learn to appreciate it!
