Set your affection on things above, not on
things on the earth.
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 some third world country, working twelve hours a day, seven days a
week, for $15.00 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!!!
Should you feel depressed because of your
weight; Remember, there
is no cure for AIDS.
