Thursday Thoughts-Contentment

I think a lot of people struggle with contentment, especially women for some reason. I know it is something I struggle with. I read some things on contentment yesterday, while waiting for Luke to get out of surgery. I thought I would share them with you.
"Contentment is a state of the heart, not a state of affairs. . . At all times, in all circumstances, Christ is able and willing to provide the strength we need to be content. Contentment occurs when Christ's strength is infused into my weak body, soul, and spirit." (Linda Dillow, "Calm my anxious heart")
"Contentment is essentially a matter of accepting from God's hand what He sends because we know that He is good and therefore it is good." (J. I. Packer)

I too struggle with contentment (why, oh why, when I have so much). Wonderful quotes here.
