The Blind Girl – Lesson for Today
There was a blind girl who hated herself because of her blindness. Not only did she hate herself but she hated everyone else, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend. One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her that simply said. “Just take care of my eyes dear.” This is how the human brain changes when our status changes. Only a few remember what life was like before and even fewer remember who to thank for always being there even when times were painfully unbearable.
Life Is a Gift
Today 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. RELISH THE MOMENT, IT MAY NOT COME AROUND AGAIN!
Life is a Gift poem was what God reminded me to read when I was just about to leave the bible for The Secret.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the
sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he
noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one
belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When
the last scene of his life flashed before him, he
looked back at the footprints in the sand. He
noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed
that it happened at the very lowest and saddest
times in his life. This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, You said that
once I decided to follow you, You'd walk with me all
the way. But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only one set
of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed
you most you would leave me.” The Lord replied,
“My son, My precious child, I love you and I would
never leave you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it
was then that I Carried You.”The Poem Footprints in the Sand by Mary Stevenson
