Before you think of saying 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 is crying out to God for a
companion.
.
Today before you complain about
life– think of someone who went too
early to the grave.
.
Before you complain about your
children– think of someone who
desires children but they’re barren.
.
Before you argue about your *****
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 on foot.
.
And when you are tired and complain
about your job– think of the
unemployed, the disabled and those
who wished they had your job.
.
But before you think of pointing the
finger or condemning another–
remember that not one of us are
without sin and we all answer to one
maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem
to get you down– put a smile on
your face and thank God you’re alive
and still around.
