“I think most of the time when we begin to fail in our own lives is when we begin looking around at everyone else and their lives and in doing so..we lose sight of our own lives..Amen..and we begin to compare our lives to someone else’s life..Amen..and then we lose sight as I say of our own..because ours doesn’t measure up to their lives..Amen..and we feel that we have failed..or we have come up short..and we are not doing enough..don’t have enough..and so there we go as some may call it the rabbit hole..and we just continue comparing ours to theirs..and then we forget what we are to be doing in our own lives..Amen..because we have done lost heart in our own..Amen..and guys let me say that is a terrible place to get in life..and not at all a great place to be at..Amen..because this is the thing..we all are where we are for a reason..and we all are not the same in life..we all have a different purpose..a different position..but let me say that wherever we are and in whatever season were in..we have been called to be there..Amen..life again is to be lived where you are..and do what you can with what you have..not looking around at someone else and what their doing in their lives..but focusing on your life..and what you alone are doing..not being jealous and envious of another and what they have to what they don’t have..but you simply appreciate all the great gifts and love that God our Father has bestowed upon you and your life..James 1:17..Amen!”

“Because having a jealous spirit or an envious one is not a good spirit at all to have in life..because it holds you in bondage and you don’t know how to be thankful and or grateful for your own life..Amen..and or to be happy for someone else and their life that they are living..Amen..because most of the time we may see the good in someones life..but we don’t see their struggle that they face and or go through to make that life happen..things simply aren’t handed to people as some think that it is..no you get up and your work hard and daily to get things accomplished and taken care of..we all have to do the best we can with what we have been given..Amen..but to not thank the Lord for your own life..well, we lose out..because our gifts are ours..and we are to take care of them..nurture them..and appreciate them all..no matter how big they are or how small they are..Amen..so stay focused this morning on your life..and who is in your life..and what you alone need to be doing this day..don’t let your day pass you bye..all from looking around getting distracted and focusing on someone else and theirs..Amen..but you pay attention to your home..your job..your relationships..your marriage..Amen..and stay close to the Lord all the while doing so..Amen..because if not we begin to lose ourselves all the while losing our lives..by not doing so..Amen..we all have a job and task to do daily..so make sure you are doing yours well..being thankful all the while you are doing it..because again life is fast and we should never ever take them for granted..Amen..so love like never before..keep your eyes on the prize of life..and keep on walking the straight pathway..staying filled up with all the goodness of the Lord..having your cup overflowing..Amen..drinking from your saucer of life..other than pouring from your cup..be flowing always and keep on flowing for the Lord our God..being the best you that you my friends can be..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
