The I wants

Sew Abundant: Conversations at my kitchen table

Have you had a time when a neighbor does something great with their yard, or someone gets a promotion at work, or a friend gets a new car? Times like this are sometimes hard for me. I call them the I wants. Right now it is really bad. My neighbor, who is a really sweet person, is building a rather large play house for his son. It is big enough to be a she shed, or a spare office. Oh my the I wants, the jealousy, the coveting what they have is really bad!

Today I talked to you about the I wants and my struggles with them. I relish over my neighbors beautiful yard. But in the end I share with you where I have found my comfort and my strength to get me through the days of I want.
