When we find it
hard to get to sleep tonight; Just remember the homeless
family who has no bed to lie in.
When we
find ourselves stuck in traffic; don't despair. There
are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard
of privilege.
When we
have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been
out of work for the last three months.
When we
despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the
person who has never known what it's like to love and be
loved in return.
When we
grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the
woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven
days a week, for $10.00 to feed her family.
When our
car breaks down, leaving you miles away from assistance,
think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity
to take that walk.
When we
notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the
cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to
examine.
When we
find ourselves at a loss, and pondering what life is all
about, what is my purpose, be thankful. There are those
who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
When we
find ourselves the victim of other people's bitterness,
ignorance, insecurities, remember, things could be
worse. We could be them.
Oh, how great Thou art!
Thank you so much for everything.
