Dealing With Life Envy

replicate the pictures. I see the idea wardrobe on Pinterest and wish mine looked the same.
all. Is the 10% we know of someone’s life, really the “perfect” life that we see or what is portrayed? Do we really want their life?
Soup is something my husband and I love! I usually do not make soups with beans in them because my husband is allergic to them. I had made this chili recipe for our youth group, knowing full-well, my husband would not be able to eat it. Even though I could not attend, I find out…
Do you dream of a day when everything is just as it should be? Where there are no more tears. No more crying. No more pain. No more suffering. No more frustrations. No more (fill in the blank). Throughout my life, I have often pondered what Heaven would be like. To think that there would…
I thought I would give an update on my cancer journey. We are still celebrating that my blood tests are showing NO leukemia!! What a humbling result and it only spurs me on to keep sharing of His goodness because surely those results aren’t from anything that I’ve done. This past round side effects-wise was…
We are gamers. I’m not talking about pulling out the controller, turning on the TV, and glued-to-the-screen type games. I’m talking about a physical board with game pieces and paper directions. For our family, after dinner is cleaned up and the table is wiped down, but before our 6-year-old needs to get some zzz’s, we…
A dear friend of mine (eh hem…MAK) recently wrote a little note on Facebook about how we often times minor in the major things, major in the minor things in life. That struck me and even though I’ve heard that quote in the past, I couldn’t help but sit back and wonder how often I…

The thing I tell myself, regarding life envy, is "well it would be better for that person to be broke, in the hospital, etc etc so that it makes you feel better" — meaning, would someone else have to have a horrible life with no blessings for my happiness!? No… I should rejoice with others when they are blessed because thats what I would want others to do with me if I am blessed in anything. We don't realize what the end of our thoughts are really. We don't realize as you said, what does their life look like in totality. Additionally, our heart attitude should be one of joy for others as they receive or have any blessing; because someday the Lord will bless us too and others will look on at that.
You are so right Joni! It is sometimes hard to rejoice when going through difficult times, but you are so right we still should be because God may bless us like that someday. We just never know! And we never know what God has in store for us! Hang in there girl! Thinking of you!
