hmmmmm....
A guy met one of his school mates several years after school and he could not believe his eyes; his friend was driving one of the latest sleek Mercedes Benz cars. He went home feeling awful and very disappointed in himself. He thought he was a failure.
What he didn't know was that his friend was a driver and had been sent on an errand with his boss's car!
Rosemary nagged her husband always for not being romantic. She accused him of not getting down to open the car door for her as her friend Jane's husband did when he dropped her off at work.
What Rosemary didn't know was that Jane's husband's car had a faulty door that could only be opened from the outside!
Sampson's wife went to visit one of her long time friends and was very troubled for seeing the 3 lovely children of her friend playing around. Her problem was that she had only one child and has been struggling to conceive for the past five years.
What she didn't know was that one of those children who was the biological child of her friend had sickle cell and had just a year to live; the other two are adopted!
Life does not have a universal measuring tool; so create yours and use it.
Looking at people and comparing yourself with them will not make you better but bitter.
If you knew the sort of load the camel carries, you wouldn't ask why it takes those gentle strides.
So be thankful to God for what you have and enjoy it. You never know, someone may earnestly be praying for what you don't appreciate but take for granted.
Have a lovely day!
I'm grateful to God.

You are all quick to seek independent women but also quick to shout head of the house! Go and hussle and stop disturbing the peace abeg!

ReplyDeleteHonestly I'm grateful to you my God.
ReplyDeleteExactly, things not always the way they seem...i've decided to be content in my marriage not minding what I see others try to portray...God will bless my husband's hustle one day....i can't fit come and kee myself over other people's imperfect lives
ReplyDeleteNot all that glitters are gold.
ReplyDeleteI learned this a while ago. Even the Bible says the battle isnt to the strong, race to the swift, bread to the wise. In matters of destiny, overtaking is allowed.
ReplyDeleteJust be happy with your situation, make the best out of it while you work towards being better.
This is what flashed my mind too.
DeleteEven though the horses are prepared for the day of battle, VICTORY is from the Lord
DeleteHelpful, very very helpful
ReplyDeleteExactly what my priest said in church. Thanksgiving# am grateful to GOD almighty.
ReplyDeleteExactly what my priest said in church. Thanksgiving# am grateful to GOD almighty.
ReplyDeleteInspiring!
ReplyDeleteSo true,but sometimes you need to look at where your mates and make sure you're not lagging behind.Not necessarily to envy them or feel bad about what you've not achieved yet,but for motivation.
ReplyDeleteVery correct
DeleteI'm very content, even my friends know but I still evaluate my life using some of my make so that i'll be motivated
You are right. Correct.
DeleteSassy I agree with you 101%. Yes don't compare, but the reason why we hv contemporaries is to remind us when we need to change prayer point oh! #IMO you can't be praying for admission for BSc when your mates are thinking of careeer enhancement. That means there's a problem and the witch in your village must die
Delete*knows**
Delete**mates**
Am grateful to God for everything.
ReplyDeleteWord. Lord am grateful
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord... Am grateful.
ReplyDeleteGod has been faithful
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful write up, thank u Lord Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI 'll forever be grateful to myGod Almighty.
ReplyDeleteI won't stop thanking you Lord, because there is none like you. Nice write up. Stella happy Sunday to u and all my lovely Bvs
ReplyDeleteStella thanks for this
ReplyDeleteWe all need to remind ourselves about this, comparison kills.
ReplyDeleteThank you God
ReplyDeleteYes ohhhh,keep praying to God to make me grateful and give me the spirit of thanks. It could have been much worse.in everything give thanks. #LetGod
ReplyDeleteSpending too much time worrying about things you don't have,will only cause you to forget things that you have.Be grateful and give thanks to God.
ReplyDeleteOh,thank you Lord,I just finished crying and asking Jesus to show up for me,but reading a comment from bv Triumphant saying whenever she needs a hug ,she opens her bible,I am going to do DAT now,God has been faithful, only we have failed to see DAT.Thank you Jesus#AppleofGodseye#
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will experience it dear.
DeleteIn as much as we should be grateful I do not think it should be attached to "what you see may not be what it is". We need to learn to celebrate with others in addition to enjoying ours. I do not have a child; this does not mean that when I see my friend with her kids I should start thinking that what I am seeing may not be all that; I should be able to bless them and also praise God for what he is going to do for me. Let us learn to genuinely be happy for others and also wish same for ourselves
ReplyDeleteR u minding the indomie-brained blogger?She kuKuma manage 2 graduate though with only a pass.Like mama come dey go,just dey go na beg we beg u so other students go fit get space

ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, this is inspiring. I thank you Lord, I believe you will make things to be better for us in your own time.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I found out is that some people that claim their life is so perfect is nothing but full of shit ,so i don't wish to be like anyone no matter what.
