VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Discontentment Is Satanic!

Stop Letting The Eyes Of Others Spend Your Money 

Aka Stop Allowing The Envy Of People's Stuff And Nonsense 

To Debit Your Bank Account, Literal And Spiritual! 

Someone's Eyes Saw "It" First! 

Someone's Hands Acquired "It" First

And 

Now Your Heart Is Viewing "It" 

Through Someone Else's Vision 

And

Your Once-Contented Heart Has Become That Of 

A Discontented Brown Cow 

Who Kicks Over The Pail Of White Milk That 

She Ate Much Green Grass To Produce 

To Bless Many Others! 

Beloved, 

Discontentment Is Satanic 

And 

This Is Why We Are Instructed To Be Contented 

With Such Things As We Already Have! 

No Christian Should Ever Want To Have 

Their Last Stand Be, Nor Die, On The Hill Called Envy! 

Do You Know How Who Got What!?! 

Are You Able To Do What Was Done 

To Have What That Person Holds!?! 

Will Your Maker, Savior, Healer, Helper, Sealer 

Be Satisfied With Your Vain Choice!?! 

Please Do Not Allow Someone's Mouthful To Block Your Airway 

Aka Don't Let Look-At 

Cause You To Buy Can't-Afford 

At Even-If-Kills-Me Mercantile Exchange! 

Satan The Damned Tried That For The Win: 

He Failed At Winning

Had A Partial Win At Lying

And 

Is Waiting For The Grand Finale: 

Eternally Dying! 

This One Time, Dear Ones 

Learn Something Profitable From King Fraud: 

Envy Kills The Future

By Blighting The Present!! 

Listen Carefully

Obey Unwaveringly

And 

Live Enduringly By Every Blessed Word That 

Comes From The Mouth Of The Lord! 

Peace! 

IT MUST BE SAID: Cultivating Gratitude!

I Had A Single Grain Of Gratitude
And I Sincerely Wished For More
So I Put It In A Pot Of Care
And I Placed On A Sunny Shelf
Near My Entrance Exit Door!

I Told A Friend About My Desire
To Have Gratitude Blooming Richly In My Sphere
And I Was Shocked To The Max
At The Words That She Spake
And I Wondered If Cultivating This Friendship
Had Been A Sad Mistake!

She Bitterly Said:

What Do You Have To Be So Grateful About!?!
Your Life Is As Hard Is Mine!
Breaking Up Fractions To Know How To Live
Is A Task That I Roundly Despise!

I Don't Know What It Is That You Want To Be So Grateful For
When Each Day Is As Hard As Every Other
When Money Is Tight
When Health Is No Delight
And Just Looking At Another Person
Is Reason For Them To Pick A Fight!

I Replied:

Aren't You Glad You're Alive!?!
Aren't You Glad You Don't Have Cancer!?!
Aren't You Glad You Have Eyesight
And Your Legs Are Still With You
And No One Has To Push You Around
And In Your House There Is Still Reason For Laughter!?!

The Look I Received Was Chilling To Say The Least
And We Parted With No Words Of Affection!
I Went My Own Way
And To The Living God Said My Grateful Prayers
And Sought To Understand Why Words Of
Thanks And Gratefulness
Were So Hard For Some Of Us To Say!

The Scenario Is Not Real
But The Concept Is Very True
And All We Have To Do
Is To Look Critically Around Us
And We Shall See The Living Proof:

People Discontented With What They Have
Which Is More Than What Someone Has Or Some Other
But A Lot Less Than That Friend
This Brother Or Another!

Discontent Is An Offshoot Of Pride
And A Great Family To Greed
And Believe It Or Not
The Rich Want The Health Of Poor
Who Want The Wealth Of The Rich
Who Want The Peace And Rest Of Those 

Who Have Not Tasted Runaway Success!

We Ask For What We Want!
We Get What We Need
And Then We Blame God
For Not Really Knowing Each Heart
How To Feed!

Ingratitude In The Young Is Ugly!
Ingratitude In The Old Is A Disgrace
And We All Need To Do A Serious Think
About What Would Be The Outcome
If The Lord God Almighty
Loving King Blessing Faithful True
Were To Deal With Each One Of Us
According To Our Practice Of 

Not Returning Words Of Thanks And Prayers Of Gratitude!

We Beg Too Much

And

We Say Thanks Too Little!

Almighty God Does Not Owe Us Anything

But We, Ingrates That We Are

Owe Almighty God Everything!

Thank You, Dear Lord

Unexpected, Unappreciated

LOVE GIFT: Gas-Lighting: Adoration: Appreciation?!

When Someone Gives You

A Gift

Let Some Appreciation Show!

Do Not Be An Ingrate!

They Do Not Owe You Anything!

Your Gratitude Is Their Reward!

Let Them Know! 

* * * * *

She Was So Kind To Me!

I Am Getting Her A Gift To Say "Thanks!" 

Whoo Hoo! 

How Special!

... Give God A Gift, Too!

What Did You Say?! 

I Didn't Stutter! 

I Said You Should Give God A Gift, Too!

He Is Kind To You Every Moment Of 
Every Single Day!

We Give Gifts To Those Who Give Us Gifts

And They Give Us Gifts In Return

And Gifts Given Are Given

Time And Again

With Us Always Expecting 
A Package Bearing Our Names! 

What A Shame! 

There Is Problem With That! 

Actually ... 

It Is Quite Mercenary

For It Is Done With Intent! 

You Give To Get! 

You Live In The Land I-Expect!

Let's Raise Up Our Eyes A Bit!

Let's Think About God For A Minute! 

A Gift From Almighty God Is Not Owed For!

It Is Truly Free! 
That Gift Is Love ... Given

With No Hope Of Repayment

For

It Is A Blessing Received From The Eternal God

Given Graciously For Our Good

For

It Is He Who Created Us

AND

It Is He Who Gives Us Our Necessary Food!

I Agree With You!
We Have Really Bad Attitudes!

If I May Be So Bold
It Is Just Like That Lady

Asking For Advice

That I Read About

Who Is Grossly Offended 

Because Her Husband

INTERRUPTS HER

Twenty Times A Day

To Say To Her:

"I Love You!"

AND

Though Their Relationship Is Considered
Good Cooperative Loving 

Giving Faithful Kindly Helpful
AND

Committed 

She is Concerned That

He May Be Gaslighting Her!

Let's Forget About Her! 

That's Exactly How We Think Of The Living God!

Wait A Minute!

What Is Gaslighting?!

The Five Dollar Interpretation Is:

Manipulating You Into Doubting Your Self

Your Sanity

Your Reality

Aka

Mind Control!

That Is Sick!

God's Love Cannot Ever Do That!

If You Really Want To Get Ridiculous

It Is Actually Man

Gaslighting God

Compliments The Benighted Manipulations Of

Satan The Fraud!

We Try To Remake God Into Our Fallen Image

AND

We Take Almighty God's Gifts For Granted!

We Take The All-knowing God For Granted, Too!

We Take The Ever-Present God's Gifts As Our Due

AND

Often Look At Him Askance

Wondering

Why Is There Only One Gift?!

Only A Small One?!

Where Is The Big(ger)(gest) One?!

Why Is One Not Two And Three?! 

Gratitude Is Always Appreciated

BUT
Not Rumblings Of Discontent

About Gifts Not Good Enough 

Big Enough 

Costly Enough

Powerful Enough 

Fast Enough

Important Enough

Showy Enough!

We Need To Tell Our Jesus:

Lord, 

You Are Blessing Enough And More!

You Are Giving Enough!

I Have Some In Store

For Your Gifts Are Sure!

Please Keep Me Forever Safe

Inside Your House!

You Are The Key To Me!

I Am At Your Door!

Enter My Heart's Door! 

Because ...

If The Lord Had Not Of His Blessings Given Unto Us

Our Lives ... By Now

Will Have Been Truly Spent!

Let's Take A Moment To Say:

Thank You, Lord!

The Gift Is Appreciated!

The Multitudinous Gifts Are Appreciated!

You, Lord

Are Greatly Loved

And

Truly Appreciated!

I Appreciate Your Love!

I Love You!

Help Me To Love You More And More

Even If

No More Of Your Magnificent Gifts

Were For Me

In Store! 

I Am Grateful To You

For Thinking On Me

For Blessing Me With Your Bounty

For The Life To Me Given

That I've Often Carelessly Misspent!

I Love You!

I Give You, Me!

For My Ingratitude

I Sincerely Repent!

I Listening, Lord!

Please Help Me To Really Appreciate

As I Daily Labor

All That You Have Set Before Me

In The Here And Now

And

All That I Read About

In The Living Oracle Of Truth

That I Hope For

And

In The Fullness Of Time

Expect To Gloriously Experience

- The Ultimate In Gift-Receiving -

Home With You

In The Beautiful Land!

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name

I Pray And Humbly Plead!

AMEN.

Some Love Now ... TODAY!
