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 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.

And 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.

Thank you for the reminder, each of us should have that written in a obvious place in our home, our minds to keep us in check when we feel life has gotten the better of us,

I wish there was a way to pass this message along to the children and young people that are being raised without a sense of purpose. The world is filled with shallow people who look upon people who are different or unfortunate like they are inferior. It is a sad situation, if you have good health, a decent place to live, employment, etc., you should be grateful. None of us can predict what the future might bring. I often wonder what would happen if someone who is so wrapped up in themselves should lose their eyesight or their hearing or perhaps become crippled? Life is a gift for certain but reaching out to others who are in need is an extension of that gift and too many people neglect to see that. Thanks for your inspiring message!
