Rotten

A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
– Proverbs 14:30

I am an empty nester now. (wow, that is hard to say)
But I still want a bigger house.  (I have not cleaned his room yet)
My friend recently received a huge diamond for an anniversary gift, it is beautiful.
Many of my friends have been on tropical vacations, I want one too!
Envy may be one of the great sins of our generation.
Television and the Internet expose us to the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and, deep in our heart, we want to be like them.
How can we tell that we are envious?
Look at the deep sense of dissatisfaction that permeates our society.
People are not happy because people want more than they have.
Our envy has made life rotten to the bones, and the need for repentance is as great as ever.
Be happy with what you have, instead of feeling like you always need more.


Have a blessed day!
