Life is a Gift

A Story to live by

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. 

She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see

the world, I will 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 boyfriend.

He asked her,

'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The

girl looked at her boyfriend 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 boyfriend 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 died

too early on this earth..

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 wish they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning

another - Remember that not one of us is without sin.

And when

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

your face and think: you're alive and still around :-)

p/s: the story above reminds me on the true story about how a girl accidentally hurt a boy's eyes. accidentally ok...not in purpose. Then a boy asked the girl whether she willing to  donate her eyes if he get blind. No doubt she will because it was her fault and the most important is.... she care about him so much...only he didn't realize. (m_m). Love is most of the time is like that.
