| I heard this on a Tyler Perry movie the other night and it was at a funny moment in the movie but I thought.. How true is that,, and what a great way to explain to our younger married couples today... In Marriage,, you get 80% of everything you need and then some little sweet thing walks by (man or woman) and offers you the 20% of what you are missing in your marriage,, and crazy us,, we leaves the 80% for the offer of the 20% !! Dumb !! Now I know it was just a line in a movie.. but isnt it soooooo true.. Satan has our focus on what we LACK rather than, Thanking God for what he has given us.. And God doesnt do anything 80% of the way.. that 20% we "think" we are missing out on,, can be found in the comfort of God.. Looking to him to meet our needs and desires.. Just a little something to make you go Hmmm???? |

Great...and so true. Just like the saying that we can put dog poop into a brownie..and even if it is just one small spoon full who wants to eat the brownie? The brownie is 99% other ingredients, but we won't eat it now knowing the 1%.
Thanks...I needed this this morning.
Blessings and hope the adjustment is going well.

So sorry I deleted my other comment, I was logged in on the wrong account. ugh!
very true~thanks for posting this. puts things into perspective. I really need to start my Bible reading more~I will be visiting often :)
Excellent! I love what you are describing here! If we would only see with the spirit placed within us that every desire planted deep within is the longing for God Himself! No 20%, 80%, or even 99.9%
will satisfy the way He can. Distorted thinking sends the heart searching for perfection...but until the door of heaven is opened, perfection won't be found. Yet, God gifts us with so much here on earth to remind us of the beauty to come - but sometimes the most beautiful blessing is so close we can't even see it....may we never take for granted those we love and may we have the eyes to see all God has gifted us with!
Giant Hug to you, my friend! xo
Thanks for sharing this today..you always add to my day :D

Oh so true, Karen...thanks for a great reminder post to all of us! Satan works so slyly in that 20% area !
So true!!! Good post!
