One of the ten commandments God gave to the Israelites is found in Exodus 20:17. It says, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house...your neighbor's wife...servant...ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
That means you shouldn't look at other's stuff and want it for yourself. Each of us should be thankful for what we have, and also be happy for others if they have nice things. Read the scripture Romans 12:15 and also in 1 Corinthians 12:25,26.
Some guys in the Bible got really jealous of their brother, and did awful things to him. You can read about that in Genesis chapter 37. You may read about the end of the story in Genesis chapters 42-47. It's really interesting.
Decide today that you're going to rejoice with others when they are blessed. God wants to bless you too! It just may not be at the same time and in the same way as others. That's okay.
God bless you today!
