Social media can produce
Undesirable side effects.
One negative outcome of the
Sites is that they fuel our
Natural tendency to compare.
Comparison leads to discontent and
Then, to a complaining spirit.
The antidote?
I must recognize that the folks posed in
Their lovely homes or in a glamorous
Vacation spot with their picture perfect
Families have struggles of their own.
I can't see behind their smiles or
Their closed doors.
Perhaps they actually envy me.
And further,
If I cultivate a grateful heart I won't
Concern myself with other people's
Blessings.
I'll be filled with gratitude for my own.
