As a parent, let's say you come home with a bag full of toys; five toys for each of your children. You call them all in, tell them you have gifts for them then you stand back and watch as they eagerly select and play with them. However, one of your children doesn't take all of their toys; instead, they examine what the other kids have, become aware they don't have as many then get mad because their brothers and sisters have more.

Are You Blessing to Be Blessed?
Many believers often administer the phrase, "we're blessed to be a blessing"; and while that's true, being a blessing always comes second. As children of God, we are first and foremost blessed because our Father loves us, and He loves to give good gifts to his children.
The Problem is Not the Toilet Paper Roll
You've had to use the bathroom for a while; in fact, you've been holding it painfully too long, waiting for your spouse to finish. After wearing a pattern in the carpet, you finally make it inside; squeezing as tightly as possible while you get in position, so as not to make a mess. You sit down, breathe a sigh of relief, close your eyes, and tilt your head back; thankful that your bladder no longer feels like it's holding a car. You're completely relieved and as you reach for the toilet paper...there are only three little squares dangling from the roll.
Why God Sometimes Won't Open or Close Doors
It's been said when God closes one door, He opens another. It's also been said when God closes a door, He opens a window. I get it; these are hope-giving declarations that encourage us to continue moving forward when it looks like things aren't in our favor. Though these statements are worldly; not scriptural, I can still appreciate the positive perspective.
