Every morning when I wake up and step out of my bed ,the first things I do are .."to cross myself... and thank God"..and I have reasons for this...I thank HIM because :
when I wake up every morning and open my eyes..I find that I can still "see" and can still enjoy whatever beautiful things His hands have created when so many others are blind or have lost an eye.
when I try to stand up and step out of my bed ..I find that I'm still having two strong hands and legs that can still move in every direction and can still take me anywhere I like to go when so many others are crippled or paralysed.
when I open the doors I thank Him because I have a beautiful house when so many others are homeless..
when I go to have my morning shower I thank Him because there is enough water in my house that I can not only drink,but take a shower too whenever I like when so many others are looking up at the sky... begging the clouds to come near and the rain to fall ..just to have few sips of water to keep them alive.
when I open my refrigerator I thank Him because it is stuffed with food when so many others are competing with wild dogs and cats for a soiled crust of bread that may happen to be here or there in garbage boxes...just to keep them alive and satisfy their hunger.
when I get out of my house and on my way to work I thank Him that I can still breathe freely when so many others are dying there in hospitals ,in their beds or even in the streets ....of cancer.
When I reach my pharmacy I thank Him because I have a job , a business of my own , and "no boss"..(hehe)...when so many others are jobless... and even if they have a job ,can still lose it at any moment and for any reason.
When I look at my left hand where no marriage ring is there..I thank Him because I'm still until this moment.. a lonley man.... so that if one day I died... nobody that I love will suffer from my unexpected death..
When I look at my right hand where a cross is tattooed ..I thank God that I'm still a christian.. because my ancestors have paid with their lives here in Egypt centuries ago... just to deliver this precious gift to the very unworthy ..me..who had to pay nothing for it
