Life as a Gift

Our life is truly a gift. Say ‘Thank you’ and share it with others.

Before you open your mouth to criticize and condemn and hurt someone by a harsh word, remember that mute person who cannot utter one single word.

Before you complain because the food was not to your liking, remember the millions who have nothing to eat.

Before you criticize your husband or wife or someone close to you, remember how many desperate people are out there who are always alone.

Before you complain how tough your life has been, remember that person who died at a very young age.

Before you get angry because your children do not always obey, think of those couples who could never have children of their own.

Before you complain because you have so much to work and cleaning to do at home, remember all those who have not even a roof above their head.

Before you complain because there are so many cars, and so much traffic, think of so and many people who have to walk wherever they need to go.

Before you get upset because of the work you have to do,  think of so many people who are unemployed and those who are always looking for a job.

Before you accuse someone else without knowing the situation, remember that nobody is without sin, and we all have to give an account to God.

When you start seeing everything dark and ugly around you, remember to smile and thank God that you are healthy and can accomplish so many projects.
