Thursday hugs

 Sending out huge hugs on this awesome day.  You all choose to have a great day today.  I love y'all!!!! 


 The man said, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."   Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?"  The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."  (Genesis 3:12-13)

Have you ever done something and blamed someone else for what you did.  Boy, I have.  I use to blame others for my eating.  Someone would bring something to eat to work and I, of course, would have to have some (and not just a little) because I did not want to hurt their feelings.  John would bring something into the house that I should not have eaten and it was his fault that I ate it.  My kids needed a snack, and I had to have one with them.  I had all kind of excuses and it was always someone elses fault.  Not just in eating wrong, but in other situations, also.  I would get mad because someone pulled out in front of me and it was their fault I was mad.  No...I chose to get that mad.  Just as Adam blaming Eve, and God for putting her with him, and the woman blaming the serpent, I use to always find someone to blame for anything I did.  I do much much better when I accept my faults and understand that I did what I did because I wanted to. There is freedom in admitting our faults and failures.

To be successful in the WLS journey, we must begin to accept responsibility for our actions and how they affect us.  That is the hardest part of this journey for many of us.  We will always be tempted by what others do, but we ultimately decide.  Thanks again for our daily dose of wisdom!  Have a great day.

Good morning Kim!!!!  You have you an awesome day today!!!!

Morning Momma!!
I love you.
WOW.. great scripture today and the way you used it. I never looked at it that way. SO true there is freedom when we admit our faults and failures and accept responsibilty.

Have a wonderful day!

Hey Sugar!!!  Yep...I am the world's worst at blame and denial.  LOL  However, I have found that ultimately, the only control I have in this life is how I treat myself and others.  I can be honest or be in denial...I choose honest today.  I love you!!! 

How true! So many faults and failures in our life.  Have a Great day. Love you Froggy

I love you, too my precious friend!!!!!  You have you a great day today!!!!!  (We are having 1 hour prayer between 6 and 7 each morning at our church.  It is awesome!!!  Wish you could be there.)

 Good morning, Carmen. Thanks for the reminder that it is easier to blame someone other than me. Been there and done that. So good to be able to talk to you again! Love,Mama C.

Hey, it's your fault that thi**** home!!! Really, this was a great post. I'm bad about blaming others when I'm driving. I can be so mean sometimes. I do get really ashamed of myself. Thank you for your words of wisdome.

I told my boss yesterday that I was having a problem reconciling the bank statement. I'm 215.88 off. He looked at me and said - well, the computer can only spit out what's been put in. Hmmmm, I admitted that the error had to be one of my own but then his words started my wheels spinning. Our lives can be like that computer - what we put in is going to come out. Wow!!! Think about it!!

I love you girl and wish you the best day ever!
