Friday is my day off. Today we went to Moonlight Bar-be-cue with Cathy’s parents. My father-in-law and I like to eat their. We had a great time. We don’t get to spend too much time with Cathy’s parents and I enjoyed our time together.
Then this afternoon Cathy and I went with my parents and looked at a house. Cathy and I really are not looking to move but with the housing market down we thought it would be worth the time. We liked the location of the house so we went and looked. Once we got inside the house we didn’t like it at all. Our house really looked good to us. Once we saw the condition of the house for sale, the house we live in looked a whole lot better to us. I thought a little about this. I tend to take what I have for granted. I live a good life. I have a wonderful family and God has blessed us. We have everything we need and much of what we want. I came home much more content with what I have. Paul said we need to learn to be content in every situation and circumstance. My flesh does not like that. It always wants more. I think the Holy Spirit taught me today to work on my contentedness. I need to learn to be satisfied with who I am and what I have and not constantly striving for more. Living discontented is a miserable way of life. I want to be content in all things and at all times.
