After reading Rashel's blog today I began thinking of contentment. Am I content? Do I break the 10th commandment of coveting? As a woman living in a sinning world, I suppose I do occasionally break that commandment. However, I am a pretty content woman. I feel that God will give us whatever He feels we need. I live in a large city that has a great deal of wealth. My bestest girlfriend has a large 5 bedroom house with beautiful furnishings, 2 walk-in closets filled with designer clohtes, and fabulous cars. My parents and sister have grand houses. Yet, I live in an apartment. I really could feel down, but instead I look out of my windows at the "forrest" behind our apartment with air conditioning blowing down on me. I feel blessed knowing that many people, even in our complex, have concrete to look at when peering out of their windows. We plan on purchasing a house, and when my husband is making a certain amount (which looks like it will happen in March) we will. In our city people spend the greatest amount of money on homes, cars, and going out to eat. We drive cars that are 11 years old. It used to bother me, but I look at the people with babies in their strollers and their Mother's putting them on a bus. We are blessed to have 2 cars! My only discontentment I have is with my weight and health. I look at other women that are thinner than I and it does bother me, but I'm working on it. I am taking it to God! Are you content? Is your grass always greener on the other side? If not, then you should really take this to God in prayer. Blessings, ~Farrah |
