Florence Nightingale
(1820-1910), the foundress of modern nursing, once said that everything that is
worth something in our life, was given to us for free – our brain, our soul,
our body, our hopes, our intelligence, our love for our family, our
friends, our country. But truly, how grateful are we to all this? Sometimes you
find people who, besides ignoring their blessings, complain about what they
don’t have! So try to remember what you have instead of lamenting on what
you don’t own. An elderly blind woman once told the priest who visited her for
communion, ‘Father, I am grateful to God that even though I cannot see, at least
I can hear. Because, even though blindness cut me off from material things, the
fact that I can hear, at least I know I am surrounded by friends, and I can
always talk with them.’
