can i do it?

"Ella Spee's Prescription for Contentment"
  • Never allow yourself to complain about anything - not even the weather
  • Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else
  • Never compare your lot with another's
  • Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise
  • Never dwell on tomorrow (tomorrow is God's, not ours)
can i do those things? (or not do those things as the case may be)  i'm not sure.  i know that i want to though.  i long to be fully and wholly content...

"At all times, in all circumstances, Christ is able and willing to provide the strength we need to be content."

"Contentment occurs when Christ's strength is infused into my weak body, soul and spirit."

"2 women looked through prison bars
one saw mud, the other saw stars."

(quotes from Linda Dillows' book "Calm My Anxious Heart)
