Contentment


A Blessed Life has nothing
 to do with what we have,
 but how we Hold what we have,
 in view of Eternity.
We are just passing through...its good
to travel light, with a heart free of 
"extra baggage".

And the weight of gold we see 
(with spiritual eyes) there, 
makes even the most difficult events,
 "light and momentary..."
2 Cor.4:16-18

God has promised to supply all our needs.
What we don't have now, we don't need now.
~Elisabeth Elliot

Abandon yourself to His care and guidance, as a sheep in the care of a shepherd, and trust Him utterly. No matter though you may seem to yourself to be in the very midst of a desert, with nothing green about you, inwardly or outwardly. You may think you will have to make a long journey before you can get into the green pastures. Our Shepherd will turn that very place where you are into green pastures, for He has power to make the desert rejoice and blossom as a rose. H.W.S.

The very nature of Joy makes nonsense of our common distinction between having and wanting
~C.S. Lewis
