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.

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing.

We make a living by what we get,

but we make a life by what we give. -Anonymous
