Contentment means ease of mind!
Paul says.... I have learned In whaterever state I am in to be content, whether rich or poor.
The last couple of weeks we have been able to get a new couch, new bed, and start renos on our kitchen to make it nicer. I feel very blessed and I thank God for the deals. Our couch we got for an amazing deal and it is only 2 months old. Our new king sz bed was brand new pillowtop and we got another amazing deal. I feel very blessed. I have decided that I enjoy nice things and I like my home to look good..... But I also know that I would give it all away if God asked me to.
I have been really praying and thinking about this. Contentment. I think because I am seasonal I can easily be discontented. I love change. Some people find that very strange and can get stressed out about any type of change, but I am always up for a new adventure.
So my prayer is now what God, what adventure our we going on next?
I felt very free awhile back that I could be seasonal, but rooted. Like Tree goes through seasons but it stay put, it grows stong, but it never moves from it's roots. Yet trees can be up rooted and moved ...replanted..... The roots go witht the tree, sometimes it leaves some of the roots behind,,,,its like leaving a bit of oneslves behind. When the tree is replanted as long as it has been replanted where there is good soil, refreshing water and the tree will continue to blossom and bear fruit!
Why am I talking about all this? I dont know.....it just what I have been thinking about lately. My seasonalness has been kicking in , maybe it because we are praying about selling our house. Actually I think it is all about being content. No matter where, no matter what, rich or poor, I am learning to be content!
So these are the bramblings of my mind.....I don't know if it makes sense to you all, but......its my blog....its my thoughts,
Be blessed
