Because you are a human being, you have invited her in one time too many, am I right? It's like she can't help herself, she has to butt in and have her say in the conversation. It is too bad that we answered the door in the first place isn't it? It is hard to tell a "guest" to leave. Well, if you didn't want her in your home, then why did you let her in? I know, I know, she is pitiful and quiet until she crosses the threshold. Then, once she has been entertained for a moment, she starts blurting out why you should have this and that, and how you don't need this person because of that...yadety, yadety, yadety, and she will go on and on if you don't stop her. Trust me! She can sneak in, and then take over. I say, kick her skinny little rump back out in the cold where it belongs. Don't be fooled my friends for she will ask to come back in. Do not listen to Selfishness for she is destruction.
I hope that you were able to follow the odd personification of our dear friend Selfishness who so gladly budged her way up to the plate for us to see under open eyes. I am often selfish, I am prideful, I can be unkind. All of these are close relatives of Miss Selfishness. Let us not invite them into our hearts or our homes. Pray that God would grace your days with love and prosperity, and contentment. Selfishness will gain you nothing, she will only take, take, take, and then leave you poorer and emptier inside that before.
The picture above is a picture of a devilish little dog (Her name is Skeeter, she is really cute and energetic), that would not share this stick with any of the other 6 resident dogs. After the second day of hording it, it was taken from her and passed through 3 more sets of paws. As you may see, she has this SELFISHLY POSSESSIVE look on her face.
GRACIOUS! DO WE LOOK LIKE THAT WHEN WE ARE BEING SELFISH??? [Goodness, if I do...yikes!]
Many Laughs,
