Life Is A Gift... Enjoy It

There was a young lady who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except this loving and passionate young man who had respectfully asked permission from this young lady's parents to marry her. He was always there for her. Upon an occasion, she told this young man, 'If I could only see the world, I would 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 the young man who has proposed marriage to her. He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at the young man 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 once desired husband -to-be left 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.

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 to GOD for a companion.


Today

before you complain about life - Think of someone who went

too early to heaven..


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..


And when

depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on

your face and think: you're alive and still

around..


I PRAY THIS MOVES AROUND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.....
