Borrowed this for my FB wall. :)

Seems like it doesn’t matter how blessed you are, if you start staring at what your neighbor has, you’ll undoubtedly be unhappy with what you’ve got.

Oooooooooooooo….what an IMPORTANT reminder! THank you so much!!

Reminds me of what one of our favorite Bible scholars says:

“Comparison is the death knell of gratitude.” — Dr. Michael Easley

We have been discussing this topic with our 7 yr old daughter. How funny. I never thought of it like that. This really helps!

Oh this hits home – when I saw your picture of your kitchen counter tops and compared them to mine I felt so sad that I wasn’t as good of a homemaker – for about a minute anyway.

Then I got off my rear end and spent 2 minutes putting some stuff away and felt so encouraged by that post.

I love this message – thank you for all you do Crystal!!!!

Sometimes comparisons can be a good thing. I took my spoiled little granddaughter with me while I was volunteering at our county Christmas Store (where poor people can get gifts for their children priced according to their incomes. She was astounded that children might not get any presents without this. It made her think about how much she has. So now, every Christmas, one of her presents from me is picking a child from the Salvation Army Christmas tree for some other child.

I think the comparison made her see the light.
