A
BLIND GIRL & HER PROMISE
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.
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.
*God bless*
