The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. James Oppenheim (1882-1932) American poet. The Bible says, ..."godliness with contentment is great gain." 1Tim.6:6. Are you struggling with circumstances beyond your control? When was the last time you laughed? Sometimes we must force ourselves to forget about the mess to move into the realm of enjoying life. Yeah, I know. It's not that easy. But, I believe God rewards those who try. Contentment isn't just about acceptance. God's word talks about "great" gain. If He calls it great, then I certainly want it. There's a level of joy God wants to give His children. Joy that's unassociated with circumstances. Joy that He alone can bring. Sometimes it comes through others. Maybe today is the day. Trust God and give it a try!
