Thought for the Day - Be Thankfull

By
Real Estate Agent with Rich Sellers Lake Arrowhead, CA (Coldwell Banker)


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 m arry 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.

Wow, what a sad story! I really prefer happy endings, but I do try to be grateful for what I have and what I am. I don't always work as hard as I should, but I appreciate the ability to work.

That is a shocker one, but knowing that we should be thankful for all of our gifts is always something to be reminded of.
