Shortly after having a meltdown about the house we live in, I came here for something, anything, and guess what was the first thing I laid my eyes on?
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Nancy, this post is excellent, as was said earlier! Thank you for your wise words and encouragement towards contentment as we swim through a world that feeds self absorption and discontent. The way you illustrate in words is such a gift to all of us readers. Thank you!

I’m glad you’re leaving this entry at the top for awhile. Last fall, my husband and I started Pastor Wilson’s marriage series which begins with this topic.

The Lord has really impressed upon us the importance of contentment and its sister, gratitude. We have bad old habits that run deep in ourselves, and consequently, in our children. Now my husband is often heard to say, “And are you grateful for that?”

A big part of this subject is recognizing God’s sovereign nature, that He is good, that He does all things well. I’ve reprinted this article to fit into my planner. It’s under the “Remember” section!

Great post! Thanks for the encouragement to “look outward” rather than focusing on me!

Found the “somewhere”: C.S. Lewis, Letters of C.S. Lewis, ed., W.H. Lewis, (New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., 1966), 256.
