I love...This is is amazingly true and well written. I love the words of Dana about comparison again so true. What I love is all the same things you do about FB, for me my dislikes aren't so much in comparing myself it's gaining information that I deem in my mind should have been told to me in person , not reading it on FB after half the world has seen it (yes a bit exaggerated but you get my point). This is where it becomes hurtful for me, because I feel very un important. I have thought I'm going off FB but than I will never know what's going on with my family ��. I will share an example that is stretching me in ways I can't explain. When my youngest daughter moved out of our home ,she immediately shaved all her hair off and sported a suit and tie and abracadabra she was a boy!!! Oh so I was horrified, and had no time to digest this because now it was on social media for all to see. This was my introduction to my daughter being Gay. Now of course since then me have talked , but at that moment I despised FB and everyone who was messaging me about what they saw on FB!!!!<br />Double edged sword this social media. <br />My favorite verse is " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" so with that said I can get through some of the hurt as I look to Him. It has also taught me about what I myself am posting. I prayerfully consider now what I will and won't say before I hit send.just janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016865945443948871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303507271042730776.post-6722906450015073092016-04-02T19:12:35.617-07:002016-04-02T19:12:35.617-07:00In the past years I've learned what contentme...In the past years I've learned what contentment is: it isn't happiness or joy. It doesn't go 'up and down' like happiness and joy can. It doesn't go away when the sad is there. It pulls me through and steadies me. Contentment takes away - the jealousies for what I don't have, the hurt that unloving people can cause, the pain for what could have been, the sorrow for what was.........contentment is a simple evening sitting on your deck in a rocker, listening to the bird's songs, squirrel jumping from tree to tree, smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the air, hearing neighbors talking as they walk past. Contentment is peace. Sorry for the rambling....... I pray for you dear one. You are good, you are loved. <br />Norma's Nonsensehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530665205793246172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303507271042730776.post-6066690249473151202016-04-02T17:35:33.053-07:002016-04-02T17:35:33.053-07:00True words.

I feel your pain. :/ I also know from experience that some of the times in our family when we looked the best on the "outside," we were actually at our lowest. And vice versa! Thank you for sharing sweet friend. :)Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506891832220958076noreply@blogger.com
