Happy Friday

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

I can do all things through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:11-13

Paul certainly got the message.  In every situation he was in, he saw it at as an opportunity to point others to Christ.  He endured much suffering and his reward was great in heaven.  

Which brings me to the word Contentment. 

What does Contentment mean?  So lets see what the dictionary defines it as:

1. noun: a state of happiness and satisfaction.

"Jennifer found contentment in living a simple life in the country"

The other day at Costco (no I wasn't running), I met a lady at the checkout stand who complimented me on how lovely the shirt I was wearing was. "Yes, my favorite shirt." I replied, then I went on to tell her that it reminds me that Life Is Good.  Yes, I was wearing a Life is Good tee (my favorite t-shirt) with a peace sign on it.  I went on to tell her that life is good not matter what, that we can choose to be Happy or we can choose to be Grumpy.  In unison we said, I choose to be Happy.  She laughed and then I went on my merry way to the food court to get myself a strawberry sundae.
