Resized image

*******************************************************************************

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 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 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 - 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.

 

 

And 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: you're alive and still 


around.

 

==========================

 

I PRAY 


THIS MOVES AROUND

 

THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE...
