contentment-and-attitude

If you walk in joy, happiness is close behind.

Serenity is a very elusive quality. I've been trying all my life to find it.

We had little but we didn't know we had little. It seemed to us that we had much and we were very content.

The blessed privilege of obtaining glorious riches in Jesus Christ, makes me content with life.

A joyful life, life of contentment.

The moment that you give gratitude is the moment that you find happiness. The moment that you lose gratitude your happiness will vanish and slip through your fingers

Be content with what you have. You have enough to live happy life.

You see it as me going back. I see it as me staying on track.

Be happy in the day - Today is enough - Each moment is all we need in the today given and not the tomorrow to come

It is better to have little and be right than to have much and be wrong.

But here I am in July, and why am I thinking about Christmas pudding? Probably because we always pine for what we do not have. The winter seems cozy and romantic in the hell of summer, but hot beaches and sunlight are what we yearn for all winter.

Contentment is the greatest wealth.

Success shouldn't be revenge or a way to overwhelm the naysayers. If that is your reason, you are far from being content.

When service is unto people, the bones can grow weary, the frustration deep. Because, agrees Dorothy Sayers, "whenever man is made the center of things, he becomes the storm-center of trouble. The moment you think of serving people, you begin to have a notion that other people owe you something for your pains...You will begin to bargain for reward, to angle for applause... When the eyes of the heart focus on God, and the hands on always washing the feet of Jesus alone - the bones, they sing joy and the work returns to it's purest state: eucharisteo. The work becomes worship, a liturgy of thankfulness. "The work we do is only our love for Jesus in action" writes Mother Theresa. "If we pray the work...if we do it to Jesus, if we do it for Jesus, if we do it with Jesus... that's what makes us content." Deep joy is always in the touching of Christ - in whatever skin He comes to us in. Page 194

It's a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.

There is no better place as better as where God has placed you, be it good or bad, for His better reasons. Just keep calm and be humble and diligent enough to learn the better and real reasons that shall take and place you at the best place He wants to place you! If you don__ understand the lessons, ask Him for the reasons. If He answers you fine, if not, just keep going and keep learning the lessons. You shall definitely get a good understanding in the end!
