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.
