Jealousy

I'm still here! I haven't had much to say about the readings lately. They are such familiar stories they have not been speaking to me. The one thing I do wonder about is the amount of jealousy in these readings. Everyone seems to be out to get someone else. Where is the love?

I wonder about this because in these chapters God is present to these people. He speaks to them and makes great promises to them yet they don't seem to appreciate what he does for them. They are worried about what they are not getting. I guess it's human nature.

I think the lesson I hear from these chapters is not to want something you don't have. Don't covet your neighbors posessions! We are all truly blessed in our own way we just need to see our blessings and appreciate them.
