Life Is A Gift
Today 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 heaven.
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 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.

Thank you for those words....we all need constant reminders of those blessings in our lives before we forget and think its OK to complain.
Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, and Fulfill it....I am in total agreement with this
well i am to you for reminding me i'v no reason to complain quiet as much as i do
sooo for the rest of the day, i'm going to stay shut and not utter another complaint outta this mouth of mine
Lord give me strenght
Except the one "Before you complain about your husband or wife–
think of someone who is crying out to God for a companion"
Sometimes it is better to be in your own company rather than being in bad company, no?...
In which case the ones who are fed up with their spouses could give them to the people who are crying out for a companion.
Then, everybody will be happy!
