Think about this:

- Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight, just remember the
homeless who have no bed to lie in.

- Should you find yourself stuck in traffic, know that there are
people
in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

- Should you have a bad day at work, think of the man who has been out
of work for the last three months.

- Should you despair over a relationship gone bad, think of the person
who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

- Should you grieve the passing of another weekend, think of the woman
in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, for
$15.00 to feed her family.

- Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance,
think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that
walk.

- Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror, think of the cancer
patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

- Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all
about, what is my purpose? Be thankful, there are those who don't live
long enough to get the opportunity.

- Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness,
ignorance, smallness or insecurities, remember, things could be worse.
You could be them!

- Should you decide to send this to a friend, you might brighten
someone's day.

What Do Angels Look Like?

From www.omegafaith.org/angelslooklike.htm

- Like the elderly person who returned the money you lost yesterday.

- Like the person who told you that your eyes light up the world when
you smile.

- Like the person whose eyes light up whenever they see you.

- Like the small child who showed you the wonder in simple things.

- Like the homeless person who asked for money to buy something to
eat.

- Or the one who did not, but who just watched you as you walked by
trying to ignore him.

- Like the person who showed you that it really is all possible, if
only
you believe.

- Like the stranger who just happened to come along, when you had lost
your way.

- Like the person who touched your heart, when you didn't think you
had
one to touch.

- God's messengers come in all sizes and shapes, all ages and skin
types.

- Some with freckles, some with dimples, some with wrinkles, some
without.

- They come disguised as friends, enemies, teachers, students,
employers, employees, co-workers, and fools.

- They don't take life too seriously, they travel light.

- They leave no forwarding address, they ask nothing in return.

- They wear sneakers with gossamer wings, they get a deal on dry
cleaning.

- They are hard to find when your eyes are closed.

- But they are everywhere you look, when you choose to see.
