contentment & happiness...

We often say...

that we don't have time to do what we want or should, but what about those who are in the final stages of cancer?
that we have to go to school each day, but do we think of those who have no school to go to because of poverty or war?
that our family never gets to go for holiday overseas like our neighbours, but aren't we glad just to have family close to us?
that have to drag our feet to work every morning, but how do the jobless live their days?
that we have to walk so much everyday, but have we thought of the boy who has celebral palsy?
that our peers have got their 1st million and we've problems paying our housing loans, but have we thought of those who have lost their homes because of natural calamities?
that our mums are always nagging at us, but what about the orphans who would be happy just to have a mum to call their own?
that our relatives have a 42" Plasma TV whilst we still have the 15 year-old 25" TV, but have we thought of the blind who would be happy just to be able to read the newspapers?
that we often have problems and that they are always so big, but how about those who are terminally ill and a cure can't be found?
that we have so little in life, but don't we have God and those who love and care for us?

Let us count our blessings and be thankful for what we have today!!
