Good morning

Today is my Marm’s bday and although I write most of my messages early, I am knowing this is posting on her celebration day.

The topic that randomly popped into my head, though, was contentment.

I have noticed how hard it can be to be content! Then as I thought of my mom, I thought, God truly blessed me more than I deserve to have a mom like her. She will jump at any and every opportunity to help no matter how much it might put her out or be inconvenient. She never makes you feel like a burden. How amazing to me that I had two parents with abundant love and servant’s hearts.

Anytime I feel an ounce of discontent, I can readily look at my blessings and say “wow, God.” It makes me pause and give thanks once again. He has done so much for me. That greedy old spirit of discontent can take his bags and high tail it out of my life.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

James 1:17
