Life Is A Gift
生命是一个恩赐
Today before you think of saying an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.
今天,在恶语要脱口而出时,
你先想想那些不能讲话者。
Before you complain about the taste of your food -
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
在抱怨食物味道太差前,
先想想那些无以果腹者。
Before you complain about your husband or wife -
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
在抱怨丈夫或妻子前,
先想想那些为天主而工作者。
Today before you complain about life - Think of
someone who went too early to heaven.
在抱怨生活前,
先想想那些早你而进入天国者。
Before you complain about your children - Think of
someone who desires children but they're barren.
在抱怨自己的儿女前,
先想想那些想要儿女却不可能的人。
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone
didn't clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the streets.
在抱怨房屋无人清洁前,
先想想那些露宿街头者。
Before whining about the distance you drive - Think
of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
在抱怨驱车路途遥远前,
先想想那些用双脚远足的人。
And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished
they had your job.
在抱怨工作辛苦前,
先想想那些失业者,残障者,没有工作者。
But before you think of pointing the finger or
condemning another -
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we
all answer to one maker.
在指责他人前,
要记得,我们全是罪人,需要向天主交帐。
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down -
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive
and still around.
当感觉灰心丧气时,
露出你的微笑,来感谢天主你仍然活着!
Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it and fulfill it.
生命是一个恩赐,好好的活着,幸福的活着,快乐的活着,充实的活着!
