Be thankful

[Guest guest]

For the husband who complains when his dinner is not on time,

Be thankful that he is home with you and not with someone else.

 

For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes,

Be thankful he is at home & not on the streets.

 

For the taxes that you pay,

Be thankful as it means your are employed.

 

For the mess to clean-up after a party,

Be thankful because it means that you've been surrounded by friends.

 

For the clothes that fit a little too snug,

Be thankful because it means you have enough to eat.

 

For the place that needs washing & dusting, windows that need cleaning,

Be thankful because it means you have a home.

 

For the parking spot you can find only at the far end of the parking lot,

Be thankful because it means you are capable of walking and that you are

blessed with transportation.

 

For the pile of laundry and ironing you have to do,

Be thankful because it means you have clothes to wear.

 

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day,

Be thankful because it means you have been capable of working hard.

 

For the alarm clock that goes off in the early morning hours that irritates

you,

Be thankful because it means that you are still alive.

 

And finally ... for too much email you receive,

Be thankful because it means there's someone who cares.
