We’ve chosen Spirit life.

We have far more interesting things to do with our lives.
Each of us is an original.”

Gorgeous creatures He has fashioned … and with a bit of a sense of humor, yes?
Sabbath blessings to you, Sandra …
Indeed.
Sabbath blessings to you, too, dear Linda.
So true. One of the things that has come with age and wisdom is learning to appreciate myself for my differences, what makes me ME. For a long time I was focused on comparing myself to others especially when I was in the fashion industry and it was exhausting and my heart was never at peace. Now I value myself through thee value that HE gave me when He died for me.
I hear you loud and clear, Maria. I’ve been thinking maybe it’s okay to compare some things like how one person stewards their unique gifts to see if we can learn something–but to compare ourselves as better or worse–that’s exhausting, yes.
I’ve struggled all my life to accept myself as the “unique” and “original” handiwork of God. Thank you for this post!
As usual, you just did a great joyful grabbing bit. Made me smile and just be amazed at how you put the pieces together so neatly.
Thanks, as usual…
