Giraffes are beautiful and graceful. They tower above with their regal height and amaze me with their perfectly placed brown spots. But when I saw some recently at the Denver Zoo, I observed a common human characteristic as well.
We all have a tendency to compare, to think that someone else has it better than we do, to covet what they have. We think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and sometimes we even jump the fence to get at what they're having - just like the giraffe in the photo.
Joy and contentment is about appreciating the grass on our own side of the fence. Today, I encourage you to take a look at what's right in front of you and count those blessings.
