Be Grateful For Your Life


Think About This:

  • Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight, just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

  • Should you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

  • Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out of work for the last three months.

  • Should you despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

  • Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, for 15.00 to feed her family.

  • Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance, think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

  • Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

  • Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking "What Is My Purpose", be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

  • Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!
