If you think you have nothing to give...

You are wrong! I just read about 11 things you can give when you have nothing left to give! How wonderful is that? Read more here: Dumb little man - tips for life.

For a quick read, here are the 11 things:

1. Give a smile.
2. Give out good thoughts.
3. Give a kind word.
4. Give a cheerful disposition.
5. Give appreciation.
6. Give encouragement.
7. Give honour.
8. Give happiness.
9. Give of your time.
10. Give hope.
11. Give prayer.

Make sense huh! So, let's start giving.

Thank you God.

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings.
Thank you, God, that I can hear.
There are many who are deaf.



Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible.
Thank you, God, that I can see.
Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising.
Thank you, God, that I have the strength to rise.
There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned and tempers are short, my children are so loud.
Thank you, God,for my family.
There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced.
Thank you, God, for the food we have.
There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous.
Thank you, God, for the opportunity to work.
There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest.
Thank you, God, for life.
