Nothing Else Can Take The Place Of You.

   I was thinking today about how I need to be more content with what I have and what the Lord has blessed me with.  I learned a lot from the Nooma on Sunday and it's really stuck with me.  We always want more and more and think that what we have isn't good enough.  And even though we don't think we have a lot or enough, in the eyes of someone else, we have more than they could ever dream of.  

   A friend this week helped remind me how important it is to humbly serve those in need, and how much helping someone out, no matter to what extent, can make a huge difference in someone's life and show Christ's love.  God bless you, Mark. 

    I think as Christians we need to be willing to do a lot more of that.  We need to stop being prideful and start serving the people who really need it the most.

   Here's the lyrics to a song that I heard today that reminded me of what I've been learning this week.

Nothing Else
by Matthew West

I tried money I got as much as I could and I went to the store And I bought it all But it wasn't enough 'cause I wanted some more But my house was full So I bought a bigger house and filled it up And there I was with all that stuff And empty

Chorus Nothing else can take the place of You Nothing else can take the place of You

Still I try friendship I called everyone I knew And invited them over for a party They ate all the free food And they told me how much they loved me But when the food was gone My friends were gone And there I was all alone And empty

So take the place The place of You And fill this space The way You do I'm tired of searching Those days are through So take the place It's made for You Not friends or money or alcohol None of these things, believe me You can try them all Not status Not success I know none of these things will ever bring true happiness

  I hope that everyone is having a great week!  If anyone has a prayer request(s) I would be greatly blessed to pray for you.  Feel free to leave prayer requests on my chatterbox or leave a comment.  See you later!

God Bless,

Tamara

Life isn't always wonderful, but moments are, and those memories are what keep us going and remind us how fragile, precious, and sweet life really is.  Truly a gift from God.
