DAY 3: KIDS' PARTY

DAY 3: "KIDS PARTY..."

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have."

I was inspired looking at the children very happy and really enjoying the party. Not all kids can have a birthday party like "kaye-kaye" did, i'm sure if kids were only adult, they will surely envy "kaye-kaye" and might not enjoy the party because of jealousy. Hmm, that's what i like about kids, they don't have any problems, they get something without complaining, they enjoy what they have with contentment.

On the 3rd day, God has a message for me, i'm really sure this is His message, 11:30 AM was KAYE KAYE's Birthday Party after the party I went to church with my mom and sister at 4 PM and the sermon is all about contentment.  See, God prepares my heart by appreciating the children at the party so that during the sermon I can appreciate His message. I'm so grateful, nothing really compares to the promise I have in Him.

Sometimes, we are too focused on the gift rather than the giver or focused on what other people might think about us.  We forget to enjoy the things God has given (1) because we are greedy and (2) we are guilty.
(1) The Bible says in Philippians 4:19 "and my God will supply all my NEED..." not GREED, kaya hindi tayo na-b-bless ni God kasi, we became selfish and discontent of what we have, we want more and if we cannot have what we want we BACKBITE God.

(2) the crowd wants us to be SAD but our God wants us to be GLAD. so in every gift God has given, ENJOY it with contentment by not having more but by being grateful of what you have and instead of focusing too much on the gift, be overwhelmed and thank the giver without minding the crowd. If God blesses you too much, do not decline but always abound. It's God's gift.

On my DAY 3, I rediscover the gift of ENJOYING with CONTENTMENT.  Thank God for this privilege. I must enjoy my life with contentment. I hope you, too.
