Here's something to really make you THINK

Posted in Inspirational

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 went  too early to heaven.


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.

I PRAY  THIS MOVES AROUND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE...

I received this as  a forwarded email, so I don't know who to attribute it to but God -  This moved me a great deal.
