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–
of your food–
think of someone who has nothing to
eat.
Before you complain about your
husband or wife–
husband or wife–
think of someone who is crying out
to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about
life–
life–
think of someone who went too early
to heaven.
Before you complain about your
children–
children–
think of someone who desires
children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty
house, someone didn’t clean or sweep–
house, someone didn’t clean or sweep–
think of the people who are living
in the streets.
Before whining about the distance
you drive–
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–
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–
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.
Celebrate it, and Fulfill it.
