As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about a saying my friend Marc sent me yesterday. “If the grass looks greener on the other side…stop staring, Stop Comparing and stop complaining and start watering the grass that you’re standing on!” Every day part of my theme is living in the present moment focusing on what God is asking of you and listening for his voice.
So often we compare ourselves to others, we think others’ lives are easier or better but in reality, all life comes from God and all life is good. Even the difficult parts of life like sickness and death or just a continuation of life and the lessons for teachers.
Today I’m going to start watering the grass that I’m standing on. And then I realized my yard is Astroturf. But I am going to work I’m stopping comparing and complaining. God has blessed me beyond measure. Have a great day and let’s pray for our Nation that we will experience peace, truth, and justice.
