Contentment

Contentment is when:
1. You make time for friends and loved ones."Let no one seek his own, but each the other's well being" (1 Corinthians 10:24)
2. Giving thanks. "From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another (John 1:16)
3. Practicing contentment - getting used to dandelions. "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is love, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." (Philippians 4:8)
George Eliot wrote:
"Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away."
