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 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 the grave.



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...









May your troubles be less, may your blessings be more, and

may nothing but happiness come through your door.



God's Blessings be with you always
