 DONATIONS

 A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC.
 Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.

 The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?”

 “Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million
 dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and
 set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations.”

 “How much is everyone giving, on average?” the driver asks.

 The man replies, “Roughly a gallon.”

Gives us something to think about…

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She
hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for
her.
She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry
you.’

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came
off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.He asked
her,’Now that you can see the world,will you marry me?’
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight
of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought
of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: ‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear,for before they were
yours, they were mine.’

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a
very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their
side in the most painful situations.

Today before you say 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 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 and still around.
And before you think of signing out, Please think of sending this to at
least ten people including the one who sent it to you.
God Bless You.

Love, Peace and Blessings to All.
