Status changes


Greetings,
Every once in a while my mother sends me something 
that's really quite profound.  
This little story is one of them.
Hope you get it too…

All the best

Lou & Debbie

THINK...


There was 
a young 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, I would marry you."



One day, 
someone donated a pair of eyes to her.
When the bandages 
finally 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, 
he 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 in life changes,
will we forget what's most important.
Only a very few remember what life was like before,
and who was always by their side in the most painful situations. 


Remember that 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. 


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: 
I'm alive and still 
here.

I PRAY THIS MOVES AROUND THE ENTIRE WORLD... 


THANKS FOR READING THIS MESSAGE 
and SHARING IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
