Just a thought by coppi

If the grass on the other side looks greener it’s probably AstroTurf!

So many times in my life, I thought the grass was greener on the other side – I had the “if,only”.  If only I had that car, house, diamond, etc that would be what makes me happy.  I was in “a way out” class in Dallas, Tx & remember vividly the teacher calling me out in front of the class.  She would hang a string with a car on the end of it & say “are you happy” now, then she would hang another string on my neck with a beautiful home, big diamond, etc & voice the same thing….when she finished I had so many “wants” hanging around my neck that I was weighted down.  Her point was if you don’t deal with the core of pain, you will weight yourself down with wants.  There is nothing wrong with having blessings in life, I did & do, but my problem was the blessings had me & I seemed to want to pile on more thinking that would ceased the pain inside.  It never did.  In that class, we had to dig deep within & find the core issue of what was causing the pain that caused us to act out.  “A human doing, not a human being”.  “God is passionately committed to the kind of woman I will become not to what I do.  He is the one who speaks to storms & they have to obey.  He is the one who brings order from chaos.  No matter how out of control my storms may feel right now.” Shelia Walsh
