[Missouri-l] (GCD) Something to think about

[peter altschul]

              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...
