A New Kind of Battle

How many wasted hours have you played the "my life sucks more than your life" game?? Seriously, I have lost many of hours bantering back and forth with many of friends...(almost as much time as Yeller's watched previews...love you, Yeller...I couldn't resist) When did life get so heavy that we actually enjoy the swapping our woa's??

I read something tonight that had me resisting every urge to go to the dark place of "you are wrong"and "if you only knew". But something stopped me and I hung on ever word. It is a blessing that tonight I read some words about me. God was whispering to me thru the words. And it made me think...

What if I spent countless hours in a sweet banter of "God has blessed me more" with loved ones?? Not in a bragging, gloating, I am better than you sort of way...but in a way that reminds me and those in my realm that we are loved so dearly by Our Heavenly Father.

I am the type of person that can be sarcastic and cynical when things get rollin'. What if I swapped it for a way to challenge those to see beyond there circumstances? YES, I need it most desperately...reminders of God's goodness that have been showered upon me.

Days can be dark in my own soul. I am officially a big huge mess. Reminders on days like this of how much God does love me quenches the thirst way down deep somewhere inside...
