Are you building or complaining?

Just saw something sad and disturbing.  On 35 saw whay i assume a homeless man standing over a fresh animal kill with a large stick in his hand.   The blood was bright red so it was fresh.  Not sure if he chose this life or if unfortunate circumstances has him there.  Started me to think about how we rush to get the latest and greatest for us and our kids.  Ipads, iphones, big houses, nice cars, brand name clothes, $300 jeans and we still have the damn nerve to complain about what we don't have or cant do.  Wow perspective

Ephesians 4:29 - Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (NIV)

Just like Jesus asked the lame man if he ...

Moving Forward

Even if you don't believe in scripture you cannot deny this and how it applies to life...."forget what is behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. 14 So I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize..." You can't continue to look back and live in the past if you want to move forward towards your goal.  Keep moving forward.  Use your experience as a guide not something that you continue to squat in.  You don't live there anymore.  You are in the present trying to move to better and greater things.  Be blessed!  #heb12v1 #imcoz2017 #coachk #3n1coach #trainHard #m4w

Thank you to all who donated!  There are so many who are homeless and a new blanket or toy for their furbabies can make a small difference and hopefully encourage them and let them know people do care!  Thank you @imperfect_yet and Dream Angels for your blessings!!!
