The Grass Is Not Greener

Have you ever told yourself lies about your marriage?

I know I have!

🐍One lie, I've been guilty of thinking about is this: "they have it easy". Yup. Guilty as charged!

🐍This lie is rooted in comparison. It says if I had or did x,y,z I'd be happy too! After all, who would want a private jet? I could fly anytime I want and would never have to deal with airport security again.😂😂😂

🐍When I think with this lie, I begin to fill in the gaps with fairy tail facts. I imagine that there is happiness and joy because of x, y, z. But is that true? How did I make my assumption? What if there isn't happiness at all?

🙌When I ask myself these questions, it snaps me back into reality. The reality that I don't have all the facts. The reality that I don't need to know; its none of my business. The reality that we cannot believe everything we see on social media.

🙌What if we choose gratitude for our blessings instead of looking at what we do not have?

🙌The truth is: we have more than we can ask or imagine in spiritual and material blessings.

🙌The truth is: my spouse is a gift that was handpicked for me by God.

🙌The truth is: I am called to be grateful that I woke up this morning, that my heart is beating, that I have fresh air to breathe, that I am loved with an everlasting love by the Creator of the Universe!

🙌The truth is: my life might not be perfect, my marriage might not be perfect, but I know someone who is perfect. This intimate relationship with the perfect One is better than anything money can buy!
