I once read a story about a farmer who constantly complained about his old farm, located ten miles from the nearest town.
He was tired of the lake that centered his farm that always had to be stocked and cared for. He traipsed up and down the hills as he labored with fences that surrounded his pasture where his cows grazed daily—-all the work—what a headache. He decided to sell and contacted the Realtor.
A few days later his ad came out in the paper that read: “Lovely farm in an ideal location–quiet and peaceful, contoured with rolling hills, carpeted with soft meadows, nourished by a fresh lake, and blessed with well-bred livestock.”
The man called the Realtor and said, “I’ve decided not to sell; I’ve been looking for a place just like that all my life.”
“I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content.” Philippians 4:11NKJV
Dear God, teach me to be content in where I am and what I have.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
