Too often we change when our status changes. Only a few remember what life was like before and even fewer remember who to thank for always being there when times were painfully unbearable. Life is a gift, so today: Before you think of saying an unkind word, think of someone who cant 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 whos crying out to God for a companion. Before you complain about your life, think of someone who went too early to heaven. Before you complain about your children, think of someone who desires children but is barren. Before you argue about your dirty house that someone didnt 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 bare 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 all will answer to one Maker. And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down, try to put a smile on your face and thank God youre alive and still around. Life is a gift, live it, enjoy it, celebrate it, and fulfill it. Enjoy the moment. It may not come around again.2 Suggested prayer: “Dear God, in the midst of life’s trials help me always to count my many blessings—one by one—and learn to always give thanks for these and be grateful for what I do have and not complain about what I don’t have.
