In looking through the archives
of articles for something good to share on Thanksgiving, even those who
may feel that they have nothing to be thankful for, will have their opinions
shifted by "putting things into perspective."
Putting Things into Perspective
Should you find it hard to get
to sleep tonight;
Just remember the homeless family
who has no bed to lie in.
Should you find yourself stuck in
traffic; don't despair.
There are people in this world
for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work;
Think of the man who has been
out of work for the last three months.
Should you 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.
Should you grieve the passing of
another weekend;
Think of the woman in dire straits,
working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, for $15.00 just to feed
her family.
Should your car break down, leaving
you miles away from assistance;
Think of the paraplegic who
would love the opportunity to take that walk?
Should you notice a new gray hair
in the mirror;
Think of the cancer patient
in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss
and pondering; what is life all about, what is my purpose?
Be thankful.
There are those who didn't live
long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim
of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or
insecurities;
Remember, things could be worse.
You could be them!!!
Live each day to the fullest and
always be thankful for the things you have......
Don't ever take your friends,
your family, or your health for granted.
They are precious gifts.
