Jo McDonald's Gift To US

[Judy Harder]

Jo sent this to me this morning........and I just had to share........It is a GOOD THING!

A blind girl 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 would marry<BR>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, 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
as nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out for a companion.
Today before you complain about life   Think of someone who went too early to heaven
Before you argue about your dirty house that 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 must
walk the same distance.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

Before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember
that not one of us is without error and we all answer to God.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your
face and thank God you're alive and still around


NOW, THAT YOU'VE READ THIS, SEND IT TO THE PEOPLE YOU CARE
ABOUT & LOVE!!!

I  JUST DID.
