The Laborers in the Vineyard

{photo taken from here}

"...there are going to be times in our lives when someone else gets an unexpected blessing or receives some special recognition.  May I plead with us not to be hurt-and certainly not to feel envious-when good fortune comes to another person?  We are not diminished when someone else is added upon.  We are not in a race against each other to see who is the wealthiest or the most talented or the most beautiful or even the most blessed.  The race we are really in is the race against sin, and surely envy is one of the most universal of those."
-Jeffrey R. Holland


I loved this talk from General Conference in April.  You can go here to read the full message (which I highly recommend doing if you haven't already!)
