Thank you Meg!

[MEG33]

For all the great graphics and comments you have posted.
I have had an off the charts hand tremor that has
kept me from posting most of May and June.
I am so thankful it has calmed down!

May Your Hearts Soar 🐝
And Be Thankful!
Happy Thankful Thursday!

[luvie]

Oh, I am sorry to hear that! I hope you continue to improve. You are always misssed when you aren’t around. But the main thing is for you to take care of yourself!

[MEG33]

The tremor is chronic...but I can usually still post with typo corrections...This time it became a full body thing and I did well to just feed myself and care for the kitties. Family visits kept my supplied well.

[luvie]

Is there any remedy or meds for this? I hate that you have to just endure it.

[MEG33]

I think they can drill into your skull and untangle some wiring! I read where they did that to a famed Cello player.
No thanks!

[luvie]

Yikes! That’s pretty darn drastic!

[TheConservativeParty]

Glad your hand is getting better.
We all miss you when you’re not at Amy’s.

Ending Envy

Bible in a Year: Esther 3–5; Acts 5:22–42

Each one should test their own actions. Galatians 6:4

The famous French artist Edgar Degas is remembered worldwide for his paintings of ballerinas. Less known is the envy he expressed of his friend and artistic rival Édouard Manet, another master painter. Said Degas of Manet, “Everything he does he always hits off straightaway, while I take endless pains and never get it right.”

It’s a curious emotion, envy—listed by the apostle Paul among the worst traits, as bad as “every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip” (Romans 1:29 nlt). It results from foolish thinking, Paul writes—the result of worshiping idols instead of worshiping God (v. 28).

Author Christina Fox says that when envy develops among believers, it’s “because our hearts have turned from our one true love.” In our envy, she said, “we are chasing after the inferior pleasures of this world instead of looking to Jesus. In effect, we’ve forgotten whose we are.”

Yet there’s a remedy. Turn back to God. “Offer every part of yourself to him,” Paul wrote (Romans 6:13)—your work and life especially. In another of his letters Paul penned, “Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else” (Galatians 6:4).

Thank God for His blessings—not just things, but for the freedom of His grace. Seeing our own God-given gifts, we find contentment again.

Reflect & Pray

What talents, spiritual gifts, and blessings has God given you that you’ve forgotten to appreciate? Reflecting on them, how does your heart feel as you return to God?
