I've been blessed more than I deserve. There is a fine line between bragging and sharing excitement about what God blesses us with in our lives. I was fortunate to be able to go on a couple of vacations, yet felt guilty hoping it wasn't bragging when I posted some pictures. I pray I am keeping it in check. Thank you for defending our friend, Angie from Bring the Rain. She is an amazing girl! You are such a sweet friend!<BR/>Love you,<BR/>Angie xoxoAngela Baylishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846369575832747037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007480593618286578.post-74214847700890010702009-03-10T08:55:00.000-07:002009-03-10T08:55:00.000-07:00Lori, I cam across this and thought it spoke volum...Lori, I cam across this and thought it spoke volumes.

I was reading the comments on Boo Mama tonight and yours cracked me up!<BR/><BR/>So here I am.<BR/><BR/>This is so true...the point you made! FREE to be blessed!<BR/><BR/>When we think about it, really, why would we not want someone to be blessed? I hope to always share in the joy of others.<BR/><BR/>My husband is going through a horrible, horrible time. As I watch him tick, tick, tick...it breaks my heart! That frustration that builds up and causes us to look at others and what they have and why they have it is a trap laid by the enemy.<BR/><BR/>Freedom. You said it! Thanks for the awesome post. I'll be back.<BR/><BR/>Rena GuntherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007480593618286578.post-4514771869400863432009-03-06T21:16:00.000-08:002009-03-06T21:16:00.000-08:00I thought I posted a few days ago, but I don't see...I thought I posted a few days ago, but I don't see it.

I was just asked this week by a very dear friend did I struggle with jealousy over other people having such family support...I can not say I have never, but I am one of the greatest examples of GOD bringing people in my life to be family to me...and like you do too, and that said, the lie of jealousy by the enemy to be is being returned with truth. I want to be content.

Isn't that a shame, but all too often true? And I can't believe I'm refrencing Simon. :) Jealousy is such a tricky one and people so often feel justified for their feelings. But, it's still a tactic of the enemy and needs to be recognized and dealt with. It certainly doesn't need to be fed! We all need to continue to be others minded....in a positive way, not others minded in a why not me way.
