    Cheri…this one really hits home for me! I have insecurity issues and ALWAYS compare myself infavourably to others. Everytime I think I’ve mastered it, it hits me square between the eyes again. For one thing, I gave up working to be a stay at home mom so money has always been an issue. I’ve made many sacrifices…that’s meant no new clothes, haircuts or beauty products (this makes me feel like I look bad compared to others)and that’s just one area!

    We don’t have alot to spend on Christmas presents but we try to buy from the heart. There have been times I have compared my gifts to others’ in an unfavourable way. Your post reminds me though, that the money isn’t what’s important its giving from the heart. I will try to apply this to other areas as well…thank you for sharing your wisdom.

  4. I have always had this “comparison” struggle. Just as Lisa Marie’s comment states, I also think that I have mastered this struggle and then it hits me upside the head again. I compare myself with other women’s hairstyles or their clothes at times and wonder how come my hair cannot look like theirs or why my clothes do not look as cute on me as theirs do on them, or how do they afford to dress so nice and I cannot seem to stretch my budget that far…I am really enjoying “A Holiday-Ready Heart”, thank you Cheri for allowing God to use you!
