Focused Man! It is For Me......

I scroll down my timeline everyday and see people worrying about what other people are worrying about. Talking about they haters, he say she say, drama, etc. Judging other folks when they live in a glass house on the corner of a busy street. i remember when my mom use to call me to do something for her as a kid and i would get frustrated because i'm clearly not an only child or the only person that lives in the house. Why the hell you always calling me? "Feed the dog." I'm thinking in my head, I didn't even want this mutt, a third labrador, a third german shepherd and a third whatever else. One day i decided to ask my mom, "why you always make me do stuff and not my brother?" after she says excuse me, what did you say and me dumb enough to repeat myself, she explained "what does that have to do with you? You just do what i asked you to do because i'm your mother." That sticks with me when i think of the calling God has on our lives. We focus on everything that goes on around us. What everybody else is or isn't doing and we find ourselves lost in other folks mess. The bible says, "Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." So focus on what God has told you to do and not the next person. As God's command may not be easy but the blessing's that come with it are just for you.....
