When I open my eyes early in the morning knowing another busy day is ahead of me
while someone out there might be afraid of not being able to see tomorrow
When I have two slices of bread for breakfast every morning
while someone out there might not even have anything to eat for one whole day
When I get a job in Singapore, afar from home
while someone out there might have sent hundreds of CVs but get no call-ins
When I get a message from my mom every single day just asking how I am doing
while someone out there might not even know how it feels to have a mommy
When I have a simple dinner after work
while someone out there might not have time to eat because of working overtime
When I have a lot of options of clothes to wear for the week
while someone out there might have been wearing the same clothes for months
When I see my boyfriend's smiling face
while someone out there might cry over a harassing boyfriend
When I have the strength to walk the roughest path of life
while someone out there might think to give up and stop walking
It is when I try to see that someone out there might go through worse than me
It is when I see that what I am going through is not that hard
It is when I see that I am precious no matter how I am or who I am
There, I know that I am blessed
When Someone died on the cross
so that I can live
When Someone bore a scar in His hands
so that I can be blessed
There, I know that I am dearly loved
So guys, be blessed and be grateful in every single thing happened in your life.
Cos you are all precious and you are all loved :)

Inspiring darling... :) Been a while since I last gave thanks to God for what I have in life... A lot more than some people, but somehow I focused on what I didn't have... Gotta change that perspective and be grateful...
