Contentment

I was thinking tonight about this word and what it really means. It is definitely the goal I strive for in my life. People all around me seem to be seeking riches, fame, property, material possessions . . . only some seem to share the same goal I have of contentment.
Contentment for me means (but not limited to):
Pleasure in going to work
Being 100% dedicated to my class when I am teaching and enjoying it
Thanking God when we have a meal to eat (we’re not poor but we don’t always have the means to eat fancy)
Hugging my kids and being thankful for them
When something doesn’t work out the way I want saying, “Oh well.”
Being content is often a task. Other times, it is a natural process. Practicing contentment is something I do. Mostly it is through having an “attitude of grattitude.” Good stuff follows. Are you content most of the time? Can being content ever be a bad thing?

I’ve embraced that word “contentment” and digested it! In my quest to find what it truly was and how to keep it, I was given several lessons this year that fortunately changed my perspective. Amazing, being content for me means a place of thankfulness. He’s teaching me to take a deep breath no matter the circumstances and trust that He’s in it. Keep making the choice to let contentment take permanent residence in your life, home, and heart!
I have a lot to be thankful for.
hi, contentment to me means total satisfaction in whatever I do. Actually it sometimes has different meaning too . For me liking to do what i want is contentment . I mean everytime the meaning changes with the situation .
