Well I am broke..whats up with that right?
I have been a broke for about 17 years now :) and I can tell you really, money isn't important. We need it to live, basic stuff, but really isn't it more important to have fun and be with those you care about?
I must confess my biggest sin is jealousy. I have an uncle who carts all over the world, Australia, Alaska, etc. He has never asked me, my mom or aunt to go with him on any of these excursions even though he knows we would love to and hes got the dough. By the way he is my Godfather. So needless to say I am a bit jealous. Hes the type to send that empty Christmas card if ya know what I mean ;)
So Lord forgive my jealousy today, Forgive him for only visiting my mom to brag and never bringing her anything from these trips even though she would love that. And please don't let me find out he visited Italy without me or I am gonna hit the roof! LOL!
I am blessed beyond belief, 2 healthy kids, a hard working husband, and a roof over my head, oh and air conditioning which is worth its price in gold in the summer :)
Do you suffer from jealousy? If so its ok the Lord forgives, lucky for me!
God bless!

ReplyDeleteDear Amy,
ReplyDeleteYes, I am prone to jealousy...my jealousy is usually of someone else who has achieved success, especially if it's in my field of writing.
You are so right: we serve a merciful God.
I'm so thankful I can come to Him and ask forgiveness when I compare myself to others and want to be where they are.
I'm also thankful that I am such a flawed person in need of continual forgiveness because it keeps me dependent on my Savior.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such lovely comments.
I will pray for your continued healing from your father's death and the stress of having to take care of a sick mother - I know it takes years of unwrapping the layers of our childhood and laying them open to the healing work of God.
Keep persevering and most of all, keep saying yes to Him and to His healing work, even when it hurts. All healing involves pain; it's part of the process.
Blessings,
Jlo
Hi Judith!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks so much for your words of encouragement here I really appreciate them and I needed to hear them :)
God bless you. You are one talented artist :)
I sing at Mass so we are both part of the creative crowd.
I took care of mom for years, now she is in a care home due to my working full time and family.
I look forward to getting to know you!
hugs,
