Imagine these scenarios. (In fact, they have probably happened to you before.) You see other people eating the most delicious food, traveling to the most exciting places, and reporting achievement after achievement. “I got a promotion,” “My son is valedictorian,” or “See photos of our Paris trip!” Suddenly, your own life seems wanting, and you need a reminder that your life is blessed, too.
