Came across this piece of pin-up in one of da cafe beside my temp office, while having lunch alone.
Sorry for the blur quality of da pic taken by my VGA camera phone.
This poster says…(jus a few lines)
1) Lord, thank you for this sink of dirty dishes, we have plenty to eat.
Does it mean…. I have nothing to eat n going to die soon,
2) Thank you for this pile of dirty laundry, we have nice clothes to wear.
I have only rags n crappy clothes,
3) Thank you for the unmade beds, they were warm n comfy last nite, many have no bed to sleep.
I sleep on paper cardboard or by the roadside,
4) Even tho i clutch my blanket and growl in the morning when the alarm clock rings, Thank you lord, i can hear, there are many who are deaf.
I am deaf…
5) Even tho I shut my eyes against the morning light as long as possible, thank you lord.. i can see. There are many who are blind.
Worse… I am blind,
6) Even tho I huddle in my bed and put off rising, thank you lord I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bed ridden.
I am bed ridden also….
7) Even tho the 1st hour of my day is hectic, toast are burnt and temper is short. Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.
My family have all die in a accident and I lost my job, no where to shower, no money, no bed….
I am damned by the one up there? I don't need to show my appreciation?
Otherwise, I still thank him for many things that have happened….
