Yes, this time of the year, brings that out of most of us, the need to work our way down the list we made in January and then compare this same list to everyone. The only outcome to that is panic! lol<br><br>However, we must remember we all have INDIVIDUAL races that we are running, by God's grace. If we all had to run the same race (do the same things) at the same time, then some of us should be irrelevant. <br><br>We must keep our eyes, and feet moving in line with God's will for us as individuals.

Methinks that comparisons can be great sometimes because it helps us push further. It is when it results in jealousy or self-criticism that it becomes a disadvantage. Personally, my own yardstick of self measurement is with Christ...and when I see people with those Christ-like virtues, I truly want to be like them and I work hard to achieve it. Yet we are all unique as you rightly mentioned, and everyone has their own unique role to fulfill in life. All in all, awesome insight as always FG.Lara Danielshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00531458770381730380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35537640.post-32930684593039490002010-12-21T18:30:23.607+00:002010-12-21T18:30:23.607+00:00Thanks for stopping by my blog :) wishing you a ve...Thanks for stopping by my blog :) wishing you a very merry christmas and happy new year.Cake and Sockshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04386536239477891187noreply@blogger.com
