2 Corinthians 10:12, For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
How many times do you read someone's blog and think about how wonderful their family must be compared to yours? Some people seem to be so busy and have all kinds of exciting things going on. And after reading that for a while, you start thinking about how boring your family is, or wondering what is wrong with you since you don't get along perfectly with everyone in your family all the time. You know what I mean! Some people just seem to have it all together.
Guess what. They probably think the same thing about you! I don't mean to say you should be conceited or anything  , but it's true. You don't know what other people are thinking of you. You don't hear their discussions of your blog around their dinner table later. Yep, we have family discussions over things we read on our friends' blogs. So be careful what you post! 
Anyway, quit comparing your family with all of your other friends' families. Just the other day our family was at the park together, and two of my sisters were in a tree reading/writing stuff, and I for some reason I got a thought about how wonderful my own family is and how I love my family members the way we are. We aren't perfect (although you already knew that). My sisters and my parents are my best friends! I know them very well! We laugh and play together. Yes, we fight sometimes, too. But I love my family!!
I'm having a hard time figuring out what I'm trying to say. But what I want to tell you is, just slow down and take a good look at everyone in your family. And then be thankful for your family just the way you are. God put you in your family for a reason.
A while ago my mom wrote a good post pretty closely related to this one, called Digital Blogtography. Go read it, too! |
