“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.” ~ Socrates ~
“It is better to want what you have than to have what you want.” ~ Proverb ~
“The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment.”
~ Doug Larson ~
“What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea
we have of the happiness of others.”
~ Proverb ~
“True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander.” ~ Charles Caleb Colton ~
“Not that I speak in respect of want:
for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am,
therewith to be content.”
~ Philippians 4:11 ~

Merry Christmas,

true contentment must be a sign of
maturity. alas, i am still immature,
but i am at least learning to trust
Him for what i don't have.
merry Christmas,

ps. i smiled at your comment about
wanting to know how a movie ends.
i am the same way, because i can
enjoy it so much more when i'm
relaxed.
After such a lovely Thanksgiving with some of our family, it would be hard not to be content, and happy ~ my *tub is full*!
Sunday Blessings!
AMEN! Thank you, I needed this, today!

Thank you for sharing, your verses bless me and give me food for thought. I just wanted you to know I will be praying for you. I didn't know. I will be praying God will send someone to open a door for you.
When I am in a trial, always words from other people get me through. It helps to know the people who have passed this way before. It always comforts me deeply.
Thank you for sharing your heart.
Prayers and hugs from me to you.
Sandra, May you have a sweet day.
Like the first scripture so much.
God bless,
