You never fully
appreciate something until you lose it.
It is almost impossible to see the true value of everything until we
live without it. Honestly, how many of
you are grateful that you can climb a flight of stairs? How about that you can listen to the
radio? Drive a car? Watch the snow fall? Talk to your parents? Flip a light switch on when it gets
dark? Turn on the hot water in the
shower every day?
There is also a
difference between acknowledging that you have more luxuries in life than
someone else, and truly appreciating their value. How would you feel if you woke up one day and
could no longer walk up a flight of stairs?
If you could not walk, then you would see how wonderful the gift you had
was, but all too late.
We should value
what we have in life today, and not dwell on what we lack. Tomorrow will take enough from us; we should
treasure what we have today, while we still have it. Live, laugh, and love life!
