"I think the fall in Eden was ultimately a failure to give thanks." - Ann Voskamp

“You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor." Exodus 20

I think that to be truly grateful for the blessings we have is the surest way to deal with our inclination to covet what we do not have. Would I covet my neighbor’s house or spouse if I am really satisfied with my own?  Would we trade anything for those blessings which have captured our hearts?  Graze in the grass on your own hill. Blessed are those who know they are blessed.  Conversations Within” ts 11/12/2014
