    One of the best e mails I've seen in a long time. What an eye opener!

    Life Is a Gift

    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 herboyfriend. 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 thoughtof looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

    Her boyfriend left her 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 -

    Remember whyyou fell in love with them and all of the good things they have done for you.

    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 how blessed you are to have the ability to work and bring home money. But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is 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 the Devine Oneness Above

     You're alive and still around!

    'Life's a Gift...

    Unwrap It!'

    peace
