Green with Envy

I was thinking a little more about green and thought about the cliché, “green with envy.”

It's funny how when you are envious or jealous, you are at your least attractive. If someone is jealous of another's affection, the jealousy repels the other person instead of attracting them. Isn't life just full of paradoxes?

When I was still dating, it wasn't until I gave up trying to find that special someone was when my wife and I met. Like my momma said, "Stop trying so hard!"

How I envy him!

Caption reads: "He never takes a bath, eats a candy bar for breakfast and belches the alphabet in one, giant burp. Man I wish I was like him!"

I used this one for my kid's church lesson on envy. I found out as an attention grabber, you can't go wrong with mentioning a burp.

Caption reads: "Admit it! You're green with envy!" I used this cartoon with my lesson for kid's church.

Our lesson was on envy versus contentment and how we get distracted from other people and God when we are envious.
