"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. "
Philippians 4:11-13
This is something that I struggle with. Being thankful in all of the situations that Christ may present is quite the challenge. I am trying to focus on this verse this week, and allow God to transform me into being content with what he has given me.
Being content with ones house, car, clothes, money and even spouse may seem like a easy task, but I find myself struggling every day. Even the little things....It is so easy to think "Nancy Drew's husband bought her flowers...I wish my husband would do that more" I think that this is an example of not being content. I need to remember that everything is a gift, and we so easily take it all for granted.
Have a Blessed Weekend :) Rachel
