Today i see

I usually don’t read forwarded messages because somewhere close to the end it always says something about passing it on or you will have years and years of bad luck and the suspicious side of me hates tempting fate that way.

However this morning I received a very interesting forwarded messages from a friend about a blind boy who sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.  

He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help."  

There were only a few coins in the hat and as a man was walking by, He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the  sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up.  A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

Later that afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were going with the boy and the boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning?  

What did you write?" 

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."

I wrote: "Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it." 

Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind while the second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind.

Moral of the Story:  Be thankful for what you have.  Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively because when life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. 

Face your past without regret and handle your present with confidence while preparing for the future without fear, because it holds nothing that God cannot help you through.  

Take time to remember that the most beautiful thing in the world is to see a person smile and knowing that you are the reason behind it in some little way.

Life is indeed a gift.....
