Today . . .
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 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
Life is a gift
Live it.
Enjoy it..
Celebrate it..
And fulfill it..
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
- Someone really special to me sent this to me today and it is true to the very last word! It seems when you are in the situations that you most complain about you dont stop to think of others. I know for me that when I am complaining about life or people or just anything in general I am being selfish and thinking only of myself. I personally get so wrapped up in the now and just don't bother to think about anything else. I always say that life is too short to not be happy and take every moment in as if it were your last. But, I think that as humans we simply cannot do that ALL of the time. We are all human and we all make mistakes and we are not all perfect. When mistakes are made all we can do is learn from them. Someone that means alot to me tells me a great formula that most relationships need that they are currently laking is TRUTH + RESPECT = LOVE So I will leave on that note today.
"I do have to say that no matter what if you make a mistake the people that love you the most will be the ones to forgive you."
