Ponder This

[Jo McDonald]

 
 
   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 would 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.

I  PRAY
THIS  MOVES AROUND 
THE  ENTIRE UNIVERSE...
