Strange...

how we choose to allow discontentment to creep into our lives. The good Lord has taught us to be content in all situations in life, be thankful in all situations, for that is the only way we can get the most out of life, and the most out of ourselves too.

Words of wisdom, 'In acceptance lies peace,' is something we cannot seem to comprehend - accept? never - how will life change for us if we just accept.......little realizing that it is only after accepting that we are in a position to change our situation. And change can be as much a change in our attitude as bringing about a tangible change in our situation (May God help us discern the difference)

but no....contented?....accept?......we just cannot be or do......

It's like a space. We want a garden - then a rose plant. When the rose blooms, then we want it to have been another color, or a double one, or a creeper, or in that spot not this one, or.....or.....or.....

We just are not happy with the rose that bloomed in a place that was once barren.
