M...Yes Jaquie, there is so much to be thankful for! Many of the elderly among us have had to live with much less and learn to be thankful for it. There is much that we can learn from them!<br /><br />Melissa, thanks for the comment! When we find our happiness in something/someone other than Christ it most certainly is an idol! I hadn't really thought of it that way, but you are right, heartache is the result!Nikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993782199014258825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021030344910410642.post-33945682308157809632012-05-20T18:17:10.005-03:002012-05-20T18:17:10.005-03:00Niki:

So often we put all our hopes for happiness or joy in things that can never satisfy, then we find that even the good times are not able to be fully enjoyed because idols always cause heartache.

She grew up in severe poverty and was shunned due to being born out of wedlock. whenever we would complain about something she would always ask" is so and so healthy? Does so and so have a job? Do you have food? Well she didn't have to say anymore for us to get the hint!Jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718736716408638229noreply@blogger.com
