DON'T complain!!

i was reminded to write about this after reading Leona's blog-about being thankful... just last week, Esther & i had a conversation about how good people are at complaining about everything. how can we complain about petty things such as; "im fat!", "im ugly!", "my hair sucks!", etc. (even im guilty of the last one)...when there are people in the world who are BLIND, DEAF, MUTE, LAME??.. and THESE are the people who really know how to appreciate the lil things in this world.

some people question "WHY does God allow some people to be handicap or not have all 5 senses??" well, i believe that in many ways, these people are even more blessed, because they are the ones who really know how to find true joy, n experience an abundant life. unlike "perfect" beings like us who only know how to whine n grumble when we have pimples, or a bad hair day, or not have a supermodels body, or not look like Brad Pitt, or not have a gf/bf... and then we get all depressed, n think that we're the unluckiest people on earth, n that life sucks! ARGH!! im getting pissed just thinking about it!! how can we be SOOO ungrateful??? we had better start learning to thank God everyday for giving us SIGHT, HEARING, SMELL, TASTE, TOUCH, 2 HANDS, 2 FEET, 10 FINGERS, 10 TOES...what more can we ask for my dear friends??? u are SOOO blessed!! now use ur gifts to bless others!!

Being BLIND, DEAF, MUTE, LAME does not handicap us...It is when we miss out on the joy that God gives to us that we are truly handicapped.
