Why Envy People

We should be glad for people that have achieved their lifelong dream. We do not know what they have been through to get where they are today. We should never be resentful of another’s good fortune or achievement.

If you feel pain at seeing another’s good fortune or achievement, you are not happy for them. As good Christians, we should be satisfied with everyone’s good luck. Achievements do not just get handed to one on a silver platter. People work hard for their accomplishments.

Envy is destructive when you are not satisfied with your friend’s accomplishments. Jealousy is good if you long for something and work hard to earn the item you desire. Praise people for their achievements and do not resent them.

If you want another person’s possessions, think twice about that. Maybe their possessions have weighed them down and consumed their whole life. Owning something does not make you happy. Friends and family make you happy. Controls wear out and get sold.

If someone you know has a desirable attribute, consider how to become more like them and not resent them. Strive to be the kind of person that God wants you to be. Be helpful, kind, compassionate, caring, loving, peaceful, hopeful, joyful, faithful, and a good steward of God for every chance you give.

I am happy when I see someone achieve their lifelong dream. Reach for the stars in the heavens, as they will bring you to new heights. Share your good fortunes with others. Use your achievement to benefit humanity.

God is faithful, forgiving, and kind to all of humanity. God is overjoyed at all of our accomplishments and achievements in life. God wants his flock to do well on earth and share our achievements with others for the benefit of all. Do not be boastful. Give and never expect anything in return. Be gracious and thankful for all of the blessings in your life and pass them along to others.

The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much he left Everything Else Behind

The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much He Left Everything Else Behind

No Comments on The Man Who Worshiped Money So Much He Left Everything Else Behind

There was a man so obsessed with making money that he ignored that his family was falling apart. His children had many problems that an excellent, caring Father could have helped them with if he was only there for them. He was humble and did not put on Aires, but his money came before everything or anybody else.

He did not spend quality time with his wife or family. He walked by a man wanting food when he came out of a restaurant with a to-go box full of leftovers. He ignored the needs of his church family and what God wanted him to do with his life. He never traveled, and he never took time to relax. He hardly ever talked to people unless it was his financial adviser.

Time kept marching on, and he still made no changes. His children now had their children. He did not spend time with his Grandchildren. He was obsessed that he might not have enough money for a rest home in his old age. He worked and toiled away endlessly. One day his body gave out, and he finally turned to God for help. He began to see the errors of his ways. He realized he had ignored the cries of the needy, his family, friends, church family, and God.

He began to see what he had been missing out on in life. He was missing out on being loved and adored by his family. He had missed out on the beauty of nature and what God was calling upon him to do with his life that would help others.

The man who had worshiped money now worshiped God and family and friends. He now gave freely to the cries of the needy. He found out it is better to give than to receive. Money did not buy him happiness. It almost robbed him of everything essential in life.

It takes a disaster or a near-death experience to wake some people up to what is truly important in life. Life is meaningless without love from family, friends, and God. Money does not buy happiness or friends. Money can be the root of all evil if you worship it before you worship God. Do not let money consume or devour your life. Give freely to worthwhile charities and help as many people as possible while on earth. God bless a joyful giver.

Worry

Worrying about things robs you of a day or more of your life. Worrying over anything will not change the results of the outcome. Do not sweat the small stuff in life, as it is not worth your time or effort.

The worry wart worried all day long, and he never made a difference in his life or the lives of others while he feared away his valuable time on earth. God knows our worries and troubles and will take care of them in good time. Trust in the Lord, for his love for you is constant and never ceasing.

Always put your best foot forward, and you will always be one of God’s good stewards. Do not worry, for God will heal or help you along lives HWY. Remember not to worry, for things will work out.

Do not give in to anxiety or allow your mind to dwell on difficulty or troubles. Talk to people and realize others have gone through what you have gone through or worse. When you have doubts about the outcome of a situation, try to avoid that situation. If you cannot prevent a problem, ask others for help and pray to God for the help you need.

Do not stay in a state of uncertainty over actual or potential problems. A potential problem is a problem that has not occurred or may never occur. Do not cry over milk that has been spilled, as it can constantly be replenished. Do not make a mountain out of an ant hill. Keep busy with friends, travel, hobbies, reading, and enjoying nature, and live every day to its full potential with no worries. God knows everything you think about every minute of your life and will carry your concerns away. God will lead the way for a better and new tomorrow for you and yours. Go out and live your life as God wants you to. Remember, God is always by your side or holding your hand.

Living Your Life As God Intended

No Comments on Living Your Life As God Intended

Living your life as God intended is what life is all about on Earth. Live your life in a gracious, faithful, caring, loving, joyful, hopeful, peaceful, kind, and giving manner every day that you are on Earth. Do your best to pass along God’s message to others entering your life. Be kind to others and thank them when they are kind to you.

God wants us to help each other as we journey through life on Earth. Check on your loved ones often and help those who need a little extra boost. If someone makes a mistake, forgive them and move forward in your relationship. God forgives us for our sins, so we should not do any less for others. Holding a grudge destroys you and not the other person, as they will not even give it another thought.

God wants us to protect and help others that we meet in our lives. Visit and talk with others as often as you can. Being around others is good for your mental health, as those who socialize tend to live longer. Join a group of people with the same interest as you, and all of you will reap the benefits.

God wants us to learn something new daily, so we don’t stagnate. Travel and enjoy unique sights and sounds and discover no matter where you go; we all want the same things out of life in general principles. We want to be happy and safe, and secure in our life. We want someone to care about us. We cherish our time with our families.

W want to be children of God and live in his flock. We need to let others know what God has done for us. God is a beautiful guide and role model for all of us to live a life that serves God and helps others on their path with their trials and tribulations. Lift those who are down and heavily trodden-ed. Live life with a purpose that exemplifies God’s values and teachings.

Difficult Cats

Ridicule

No one wants to be ridiculed. Taking a joke too far is a form of ridicule. Some things are not a joking matter, no matter how you may see them. If the party is not taking the joke how you intended it to be taken, then stop immediately. Carrying a mark too far hurts everyone involved in the end. Friends may be lost, and business deals could be broken.

Teasing someone endlessly gets old and annoying to the person on the receiving end. Teasing can get out of hand very quickly and is a behavior that a bully might present. Teasing can be a way of putting someone down in their eyes. What you might think is very innocent is not innocent to the person at the receiving end.

Laughing at someone is also a form of ridicule. Would you like to be laughed at? I am sure your answer is no. To laugh with someone is lovely, but to laugh at them is a big problem in my and God’s eyes. Laughter is the best medicine when done correctly and with good intentions.

Mocking someone’s behavior is never good unless you’re a famous comedian, and should be done tactfully. Always remember you could always be on the receiving end of ridicule. Mocking someone’s actions is mean and nasty if you have to put someone down to feel good about yourself, you have a significant problem.

Contempt is a feeling of disrespect. When you feel contempt toward another human being, you may think of them as something, not a person, or they are worthless. No person is weak in this World. God made every one of us; no one is better or worse than the next guy. We are each one of God’s lambs in his flock.

Make sure you treat people with the utmost respect and never ridicule them, for we are all created alike by the hand of God. Spread God’s good works today and always without ceasing.

Anticipation

Suppose we anticipate the worst in life; that is generally what we will get. Suppose you expect that good and positive things will come your way; they most likely will. We have to be very patient in life.

If I were worried about a test score’s outcome, it would be a waste of my time and energy. If I thought I would get an A on a class paper, I generally would not because I got too confident. Anticipate the proven: if you study hard, you will get an A on your test.

Life has many roadblocks that you must maneuver around to get to where you want to be. You will eventually have health issues that you have to work around. You must find a new job or stop working because of your health. Anticipate that you will still have many remarkable journeys and days ahead of you, and never give up the fight.

Anticipate many days of sunshine and joyous memories in your life. Life is way too short to worry about trivial matters. Climb many mountains, reach for the stars, and spend many hours with loved ones and God by your side to be truly blessed.

When you wake up in the morning, say to yourself, “this the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” God has put animals on the earth for us to enjoy, flowers, plants, nature, stunning scenery, and friends and family that blesses our daily lives.

Do not waste a day of life, as life is a precious gift from God. Help people, be kind, genuine, and authentic to yourself and others. Learn something new every day and share your many blessings with others freely. Anticipate that God will be by your side into eternity and beyond.

Fast Forward

It seems time stands still when we are young and in school. We live in a fast-paced world where things change and move along more quickly than we would like.

If you try to recreate an event that happened years ago, you will not be able to. Buildings get torn down, and people die or move away. I traveled to a place years ago as a child and went back thirty years later, and what a grave disappointment that turned out to be. Part of the town was completely gone, and the stores had boarded-up windows.

Change is a constant, and we must adapt to changes in our life quickly to survive in a fast-paced world. Computers get outdated quickly, and we must get used to a new computer every three years. In the information age, we have an answer to all our questions ASAP on our smartphones. In ten years, all banking will be done online. We check in at the airport on our smartphones and at large hospitals.

Brick-and-mortar stores suffer because we buy everything online cheaply. We should support our hometown stores, and the money that they make is put back into your local community. I like to try on clothes as I wouldn’t say I like the hassle of returning the item to the Post Office if it does not fit from the online store. Local stores help you out when you have a problem with an item you purchased from them. An online store may take weeks to get back to you.

We must support change. Changes discover new medicines and cures for illnesses that affect all of us eventually. Without change, we would stagnate and never move forward. The older we get, the harder it becomes for us to embrace change, but we must remember that change may save our life someday.

Unsettled

Do you feel you are unsettled in your life? Are you undecided about where you want to be in your life? We all have ongoing concerns that seem almost impossible to resolve. I ask God for guidance when I feel unsettled about something. Talk over reoccurring events that you cannot find a solution to with your friends, as two heads are better than one for solving those challenging problems.

If you feel you have lost direction, maybe it is time to take your life in a different, more positive order. If your job or someone makes you think you lack a purpose in life, stay away from that person and find another job ASAP. Do not let another person’s negativity rob you of your positive attitude toward life.

Being unsettled on issues is very nerve-racking. Do not stay unsettled for too long, as it will make you doubt your effort to rise above the storms in life. Being directionless in life makes it easy for someone to guide you in the wrong direction to almost a point of no return. Never let another person control your life or have too much power over you so they can lead you down a road of no recovery.

Sometimes if someone is sad or not feeling good about themselves, they want everyone else in their life to feel as miserable as they do. If you let them succeed, you will be swirling around in a vortex that will take all of the joy and happiness out of your life. Try to help people suffering as much as possible without taking the wind out of your sails. Life is never easy, as there are a lot of pitfalls and events that happen to us that we think are unfair.

Lift people, never put them down, and try to bring joy and happiness into their lives if they let you in. We try to do our best for people, but sometimes, it is not enough to make them feel better about themselves. Pray to God to help your family and friends find the joy and happiness everyone deserves in their life.

Look At The Total Picture In Life

No Comments on Look At The Total Picture In Life

What do you want to do with your life? Will your life impact others or help them? Set goals every day for yourself that will help other people. Live within your means of what is indeed possible to achieve. Please don’t waste time on a project that is going nowhere and that will bring you down with it.

Life is full of upsets and unexpected events. Roll with the event if possible, and do not let the event roll over you. In the total picture of life, not every event will come into focus or even get off the drawing board. Events get postponed or are a grave disappointment. Some events are the events of a lifetime, and those are the ones that leave people talking and planning for years to come.

How do you picture yourself in life? Are you happy with how things are going, or should you step it up a notch or two? Change will never happen unless you greet change with open arms. The older we get change occurs very quickly. We cannot do all the things we long to do anymore because of age or sickness. It is time to find a new you before you get stuck in a sinkhole that will take you down.

God knows all our battles and sees the whole picture of our lives. God is the one that can help you help others more effectively and positively. Always share your knowledge with others so it will not get buried eventually along with you.

Smile and put a smile on someone else’s face today. Socialize with others as often as you can. People that socialize tend to live longer than those that do not. Always look at the whole picture and do not get fixated on a tiny detail or event in life. Remember to ride out life’s storms and quickly return to the sink with yourself and others. Life waits for no man.
