Today...

Today...before you say an unkind word...

 

Think of someone who can't speak.

 

Today...before you complain about the taste of your food...

 

Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

 

Today...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.

 

Today...before you complain about your children...

 

Think of someone who desires children but they are barren.

 

Today...before you argue about your dirty house someone didn’t clean or sweep...

 

Think of the people who are living in the streets...

 

Today...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.

 

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another...

 

Remember that not one of us is 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!

 

Just a reminder to not take our lives and the ones we love for granted.

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving

Today is a day to be thankful...positive...motivational...and encouraging. Though, I believe everyday should start with something to be thankful for, I wanted to share some short thoughts you could remember especially today.

• The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention. (Oscar Wilde)

• No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

• Every time we remember to say “thank you”, we experience nothing less than heaven on earth.

• I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom. 

• Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.  (Gladys B Stern)

• Blessed are those that can give without remembering and receive without forgetting.

• God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say “thank you?” (Wm A Ward

• Gratitude is the memory of the heart. (JB Massieu)

• It isn’t what you have in your pocket that makes you thankful, but what you have in your heart.

• If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you’, it will be enough. (M Eckhardt)

• A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues. (Cicero)

• If you can’t be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.

Wishing you many thankful moments making memories with those you are so thankful for...the things you treasure in this life...and the time you spend with those you love.
