Contentment


Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths that will enlighten us as we move about among Your Children in Your Creation as we see their many needs being met and still not completely satisfying the needs of the Spirit as we all must travel the roads of want and tend to dig up more and more places of need as we circle and hunt for Your Truths as we seek Your Kingdom and the Peace and Joy of contentment, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotations:*
Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness. -Gladstone

Blessed is the man who can enjoy the small things, the common beauties, the little day-by-day events; sunshine on the fields, birds on the bough, breakfast, dinner, supper, the daily paper on the porch, a friend passing by.  So many people who go afield for enjoyment leave it behind them at home. -Grayson

Those who want much, are always much in need; happy the man to whom God gives with a sparing hand what is sufficient for his wants. -Horace
