You get what you get & You don't throw a fit!

I teach at a Pre-School and, "You get what you get & You don't throw a fit!" is a familiar saying we use with the children when we're passing things out and controversy arises over a certain color or type of whatever it is that's being presented.  You may think well it's Pre-School and that's to be expected, because hey they're just kids right!  Well I've been thinking about it and it's really about much more.  It's about who we are as people and we bigger kids in general.  It's this little monster that's green in color and no matter how big or mature we get, we always want what someone else has.  The grass always seems greener in our neighbor's yard so to speak.  The late Erma Bombeck wrote a book called, The grass is always greener over the septic tank.  In other words, what others have that looks so great may not be all that great at all.  In these days of lost jobs, homes, and broken families, I'm finding myself reassessing what I have and what I think I need.  What I have is something that money can't buy in any store or on Ebay.  I have a promise of a future and a hope~the assurance of heaven through Jesus Christ who died so I could live with Him in paradise.  The world is fading fast along with all it's insecurity, but God and His Kingdom will not fade.
