✿ A story to live by ✿

 

 I'm speechless & touched beyond words. Please read & share this amazing post written by the amazing MamaFami . Please allow me to repost it here for my future reference. 

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving friend. He was always there for her.. She told her friend, '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 friend.

He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her friend 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 friend 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 died too early on this earth.

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.

Enjoy.
