There Is Always, Always, Always Something To Be Thankful For..................
A famous
writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing:
**Last year,
I had a surgery and my gallbladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed
due to this surgery for a long time.
**The same
year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favorite job. I had
spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company.
**The same
year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.
**And in the
same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a car accident. He
had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several days. The
destruction of car was another loss.
At the end
he wrote: Alas! It was such bad year!!
When the
writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad lost in his
thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left
the room silently and came back with another paper and placed it on the side of
her husband's writing.
When the
writer saw this paper, he found this written on it:
**Last year
I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain.
**I turned
60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to
write something better with more focus and peace.
**The same
year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any
critical condition met his Creator.
**The same
year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed
alive without getting any disability.
At the end
she wrote: This year was an immense blessing of God and it passed well!
See! The
same incidents but different viewpoints. If we ponder with this viewpoint that
what could have happened more, we would truly become thankful to the Almighty.
Moral : In
our daily lives we must see that it's not happiness that makes us grateful but
gratefulness that makes us happy.
There is
always, always, always something to be thankful for!! Stay Blessed!
