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! Nancy, this post is excellent, as was said earlier!

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!
