Life

How many times have I or anyone mumbled to ourselves "that's not fair"? Probably more times than we want to admit. Life isn't fair - there will always be someone who has the bigger house, the "perfect marriage", the nice stuff, the appearance of having everything together, the always having the neat homemade gift for people, not a worry in the world - as we all know there will always be someone who appears to be "better off" then us. But isn't that where the issue is? We are too busy out there comparing our lives, our real lives, our lived in messy house, our imperfect marriage, our wild kids to other people's highlight moments. Think about it - you are scrolling though Instagram/Twitter/Facebook and you see all the photos, check-ins and status and think "why don't I have that?" And if you saying you don't, we'll then you aren't being honest with yourself.
When we compare ourselves to others we will never be content. We will never be grateful for what we have. But what we don't realize is those same people you are envying are doing the same thing with your highlight reel or someone else's.
It's so easy to get caught up in the things of this world and totally forget the One that created it, the One that allowed you to wake up today. We all need to stop, look around and appreciate what we have. We need to look to God and thank Him for today, for this moment and the precious things that money can't buy that He had blessed us with.
Life won't always be fair but when we look at life thru Gods eyes, it won't matter if its fair or not because we will look to Him for our satisfaction.
