In each stage of my life, I have been tempted by the green-eyed monster of envy. As a young wife, it was seeing my husband work hard without receiving the monetary advancements as quickly as others. When my children were younger it was hard to keep from comparing my strong-willed, leader-in-training children with the quiet and quick-to-obey children of some …
Do We See What He Sees?
For some reason the word “hidden” doesn’t seem as harsh as the word “unseen” to me. Merriam-Webster defines them this way: Unseen – not seen or perceived Hidden – being out of sight or not readily apparent There have been times in my life where I have felt unseen.
