Too many times we simply take life for granted. We move from day to day, moment to moment without giving much thought to just how precious life really is. Every now and again something might be said, read or done that reminds us that we really do have an extremely precious gift in the life that we have been given. Embrace it, celebrate it, enjoy it and share it because Life IS a Gift!
An unknown source has written such a reminder:
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.
It is an age old question, but one which we should ask ourselves each and every day: "If I knew that today would be my last day on earth what would I do differently?" And, your answer is?
Quote for today: “The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.” Richard L. Evans
