TODAY
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's 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
Life is a gift
Live it.
Enjoy it..
Celebrate it..
And fulfill it..
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY

Totally agree. We are humans and we need to check our back before we speak and hurt others.

hey there, thank u for your comment at riveron lands, hope to keep in touch with you
Really true words, esp last 4 lines, We easily point out others, but none of us is perfect, We have to jus accept others rather than accusing them..easy to tell, but hard to practise...i try it..Thanks for sharing :)
Shankari..thanks.
Loga..so true easy to write but hard to practice.Atleast we can try.Nobody is perfect we all have our own faults.
