We’ve spoken about this before – but it bears repeating.
(if for nobody other than me)
One way to live a life of contentment is to be aware of the good things in life. Be mindful of the pleasant.
Be conscious of what you do enjoy.
Remember what God has done for us.
That’s it.
I’ll just let the words of the Bible speak for themselves…
