NIX THE ENVY & BOASTING – (Day 6 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
How did your week go?
Love does not envy or boast. 1 Corinthians 16:4b ESV
I was so busy this week, I didn’t have time for envy and boasting. Kind of kidding, kind of not. 🙂
I have given this a bit of thought, though, in between moments of chaos. I watched myself and others move through life and I kept an eye out for envy and boasting.
A lot of it boiled down to not really knowing or loving ourselves. We struggle with wanting more or wanting to be seen as more, as though who we are and what we have is somehow not enough.
Still giving that some thought.
What did you learn about yourself? Your spouse? Your friends? Others? Where did you struggle? What successes did you have?
We have this humongous pole in our garden, for our Starlink dish. Our home is surrounded by tall pines, and the garden area is one of the few open areas where we can get a signal.
Well, we are people who believe in double duty. If we can use something in multiple ways, we go for it. The pole is around 12 feet tall and, turns out, it makes a great Christmas tree trunk as well. The grandkids are loving it. Who doesn’t want a giant lit up Christmas tree in your yard? 🙂
