I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
Some people in life cannot figure out why life has dealt them a miserable hand. They see others around them enjoying life and it seems to add to their misery. Such people even feel at times that others are out to "get them" and that is why their life is miserable.
Can I be totally honest? Well of course I can this is my blog right?
I have found that most of us bring misery on ourselves. Here is just a few reasons that I know this. The person that lives this way of life usually....
...Thinks about themselves and no one else
...Uses the word "I" as much as possible
...Constantly is looking to the opinion of others
...Always suspicious
...Expects to be appreciated
...Jealous and envious of others
...Never forgets a criticism
...Trust nobody
...Thinks their way is the ONLY way
...Thinks everyone owes them something
...Selfish

If you want to live a miserable life then I've just given you the recipe for it.
The Word of God says;
...And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. Luke 6:31 (KJV)
...Do everything in love. 1st Corinthians 16:14 (NIV)
...He must become greater; I must become less. John 3:30 (NIV)
...And whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:44-45 (ESV)
May I ever be mindful that even on a (bad day) that the Lord is my ONLY true source of Joy! Only He can deliver me from misery and He will when we put Him and others first.
Life isn't about us...but it's all about HIM!
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
