Sorry I haven't updated sooner. I have been under the weather so to speak with a summer cold. It just keeps hanging on. I am starting to get more energy back though.
Life is good though. The Lord is teaching me a lot lately about contentment. So often we hear about our friends or acquaintance lives and their great vacations, or visit someone for the first time in their home and are greatly impressed with what they have. All of a sudden we start letting our thoughts run our lives and we feel like we have been slighted. Our house isn't good enough, or our vacation was so exciting after all. I began to realize how detrimental those thoughts are. A. W. Tozer said, you must bring your thoughts under control;"...if not they will turn your mind into a wilderness where every foul beast will freely roam and weeds will overtake your garden." Don't let weeds over take your garden today. Keep your eyes focused on the one who gives all things. As 1 Timothy 6:6-8 says But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Take some time today to make a list of all the good things in your life and think on it and thank the Lord for giving them to you.
Have a great day.
God Bless till next time.
