“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. ” -Seneca
We have been blessed with so many amazing gifts. Sometimes those gifts are overshadowed by our desire to have the things we don't have. We're all like this sometimes! We wish we had just a little more...but even when we receive it, that bar gets raised, and we want even more. We don't always realize when it happens, either. The "grass is always greener" mentality is such an easy thing to get sucked into when we see flashy advertisements, or admire people's lives on social media, or we simply feel a void because we don't have something we really want. It's only when we turn our focus to God that we see how incredibly rich we already are, because of God's love. He is all we need. He loves us and cares about our lives. When we take time daily to pray and thank God for the gifts we HAVE, it's easier to be content! What blessings can you see in your life? Take some time this week to really count your blessings and focus on contentment. I think you will find that living a thankful, content life brings a lot of joy and peace!
"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17
