Hello :)
Welcome to the cottage.
I'm so grateful for all the kind comments that you post on these videos...
I so enjoy reading them all!
But every now and then, there's a comment that sticks in my mind...
One of these, was a viewer who commented her favourite scripture:
1 Thessalonians 4:11
And that ye study to be quiet
and to do your own business
and to work with your own hands
as we commanded you.
I think these words play over in mind mind so often...
because we live in a time when it has become so easy...
not to mind our own business.
We have only to turn on our phones to know
so much about everyone else's business.
It has never been so easy to compare our lives to the lives others.
And it's certainly true, that comparison is the thief of joy...
There are many times, when I've felt perfectly content with my life..
only for a few moments of scrolling through social media to remind me...
of everything I feel I don't have; or have yet to achieve in life.
I think that's why I find this scripture so apt.
Because, I think if we focused more on minding our own business,
and paid more attention to living quietly, and working with our hands...
we would find greater contentment in our own lives.
May you have a wonderful week ahead.
