Wonderful Day 101

[Guest guest]

What a wonderful lesson this is for us today.

Ever feel kinda jealous that someone else has more than you? Or looks better,

or has better clothes? Ever think someone has a better life than you?

That is because you are not living their life.

You truly have no clue what they must face daily, or what kind of coping skills

they have due to their background, their way of thinking. Truly we cannot

understand someone else's life until we have walked a mile in their shoes.

Sometime we go around whining about our life, and we forget the blessings we

have. Each person has a gift, each person has daily blessings, and were we to

change places with anyone else, I think we would find it very uncomfortable.

For we don't belong there, and we don't know how to cope with what they are. We

might find their shoes don't fit very well, and are painful to wear.

We need to learn to practice thankfulness daily. In the Word it is called the

sacrifice of praise. We praise God no matter what our circumstances are. And

we learn to have a heart of thankfulness rather than a heart of complaining.

Have you ever been around someone that was negative and complained a lot? It is

hard to be around very long isn't it? Because it drains us, and after while,

becomes heavy to be around. Do you think you ever get like that?

It is a good day to take stock of ourselves and see if we need a attitude

adjustment. All of us do in some way. Ask the Lord to show you what you need

to change.

And be thankful for what you do have, stop crying about what you don't, and make

today the very best day yet. Let your spirit be filled with thankfulness, it

will shine on everyone around you!

I Thank God for My Shoes - They Fit

I woke up one day and I realized that there were many things about my life I was

not satisfied with or better still, there were challenges that were threatening

my soul. And I said to myself, " Why should anyone envy me and want to be in my

shoes. " They don't know how far I've come, they don't know what lies ahead of

me, and neither do they know how dissatisfied I get with myself from time to

time.

People don't know the troubles that you've had or the price you had to get to

where you are. All they want to know is that they wish they were like you.

Why should you wish you were in anybody's shoes when you hardly know how they

fit?

When you've worn your shoes for a while, they take the shape of your feet and

align to the way you walk.

If you were to wear my shoes, you wouldn't not be comfortable in them.

So I stopped wishing that I am in someone else shoes because it might not fit;

rather I thank God for my shoes, because they fit!

Lord I thank you for my shoes, for they fit ME!!
