Something to think about...

I got this as an e-mail this morning, and as I read I thought wow... how 

true it is that when we are blessed with certain things we sometimes forget

where we were at before that blessing.  Hope this helps you all to be 

thankful for all that you have, and remember that not everyone is as lucky

as you are!!! Remember to always be positive, and in this you will find that

you are grateful as well!

THINK  
 
 
 
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 
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..
