How content are you? Are you wishing something was different in your life than it currently is? Are you grumbling about some part of your life, job, marriage, or family? Here is a beautiful list I have printed out and put the walls of my house to remind me to be content...
- Never allow yourself to complain about anything--not even the weather.
- Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
- Never compare your lot with another's.
- Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
- Never dwell on tomorrow--remember that [tomorrow] is God's, not ours.
(This list was taken from a missionary's journal. You can find it in "Calm My Anxious Heart" by Linda Dillow.)
Let's practice contentment today!!
