There are sayings out there that go something like this: "Where there's a will there's a way", Wether you think you can or can't your right.", "Live in the moment.", and "Seize the day."
What if you can't? What if all you do is look at the other pastures green, luscious, grass? It's so yummy and full and looks heavenly. I know if I just go over there, and lay in that wonderful grass things will be better. It will smell better, feel better, be better.
Who looks to see if their own grass looks just the same? All that is dividing those pastures is a fence. They get the same water, sunshine and care. It tastes, feels, and smells the same as all grass does. Why can't I see that?
Today I had a glimpse. Today was a day of humility and growing. Today I tried really hard to notice my grass, to see how luscious and green it is. And to try and really enjoy it before winter sets in.
What has to happen for us to be content in our lives? Is it personality or human nature to want what we don't have?
Only the Lord can help. Only the spirit can bring peace and contentment.
Life is a test. We are here to be tested, to see if we will do all that the Father has commanded us to do.
I just wish sometimes the other pasture looked a little brown and dead. That would make it a whole lot easier to love my own pasture. And then I read THIS and knew I needed to sit right down and roll around in my own grass for a really long time and close my eyes. My kids deserve it, my husband deserves it, and I deserve it.
