Have You Learned To Be Content...

I think learning to be content is a life long process for me!

Some days just go smoother and times where you don't feel

The overwhelming feeling of too much to do!

To be real, let me just say I feel like Goldilocks,

Everything has to be just right:

Not too hot and not too cold!

But as we mature and grow older we do learn to not over-react,

Or to allow every little thing or inconvenience to irritate us.

One of the greatest attributes of a Christian is to stay calm!

My downside is mostly when I am tired or hungry.

But these are the actual times I try to practice staying calm and kind.

What does contentment look like or feel like for you?

Today I will catch a little joy, and keep it close to my heart!

Good sleep is a sweet gift,

 To hear the birds singing is natures music.

May my character and influence go out like a sweet fragrance.

May the light of the moon resemble my smile.

May my words be like a songbird's tune.

Love changes everything

A quiet spirit is of priceless value

May the oil of gladness anoint your hearts

Just stop and rest, allow God's peace to fill your heart

Beware of empty conversations

Refuse an evil report

Intentions are not actions

Correct me in Love

Diligence is man's precious possession

Proverbs 12:27b

Life is hard and often unfair. Yet we hear in the words of Jesus in Psalm 37 

"Blessed are the meek, He said, for they shall inherit the earth

Matthew 5:5

So as my days come and go I desire to settle into the Lords

Contentment fresh and new everyday...

The secret of peace and contentment is to keep the

Heart free from care and anxiety even in the midst of trials.

May my eye never be upon the trial I am in, but rather

The living God who controls every circumstance I will

Encounter in my life time.

So contentment is an attitude of the heart;

Or your frame of mind??

And I believe what teaches us contentment

Are all the trials and just living life in knowing,

That God's providence is at work in your life.

You are being taught to persevere and to let the growth happen.

Every day and every situation is a chance to 

Be content...

As always, The desire of my heart is to be all He has wanted for me!
