For the Bible Study that I am in we decided for the summer to take one main thing in our lives and pray for it continuesly. I decided on contentment. Contentment is very difficult for me. There were years that I thought I was content but I think I had the wrong defintion of the word. Through my prayers and struggle with contentment, conversation with softball ladies and family I realized something about all of us.
If we are a kid we want to be a teenager...
If we are a teenager we want to be an adult...
If we are an adult we want to be retired...
If we are single we want to be engaged...
If we are engaged we want to be married...
If we are married we want to have kids...
If we have kids we are ready for them to move out...
If they move out we want them back...
If we have a car we want a truck...
If we have bread we want jelly...
If we have bread & jelly we want peanut butter...
We always...always want more...
Why can't we be okay or even happy with where we are? This is so difficult for me. Why is it so hard...my life is not hard...not hard compared to so many other people in this world. I need to be content. Help me Lord to be content.
