Lola is still entertaining us. She likes to rest atop the couch cushions with her chin propped up on the back. Some of her poses are priceless.
Here she reminds me of how some of us felt when we weren’t chosen to be Queen of the Ball.
TODAY’S QUESTION
Would you have to change the way you think if you decided to rejoice with those who are celebrating something you aspire to do or who have acquired something you wish you had?
Just wondering.
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

I'm a lover of God, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and a collector of friends. I like nothing better than talking, listening, laughing and eating with that crowd. My husband, Terry, and I feel blessed to wake up each day to a magnificent view of the Arkansas River. An amazing variety of creatures, from bobcats and coyotes to deer, bunnies and nutria, along with all sorts of birds roam the natural area behind our house. We also share our home with three silly kitties. I often find a lesson in what I see both indoors and out on any given day and usually find myself writing about it. I hope you'll join me in exploring the ways God speaks to us through His creation.

Great question! It's so important to be able to celebrate the success of others to your own success. Great reminder!

Sometimes that can be difficult, right? I try to start by remembering my own blessings. They are many.

That's a great place to begin–for all us.

Thanks, Leah. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves at first, but it's the best response.

Love the question, Dorothy. I'm afraid I fail sometimes, but I'm much more aware of all I have now.

I do, too, which is why I asked it. I think it takes effort not feel envious or get down on yourself when it's someone else's time to shine.
