Blackberries
Our blackberry bush!

Paul says in Philippians 4:11-13 "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 fed or hungry, whether
living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through him who gives me
strength.”
“True contentment is not having what you want, but wanting
what you have.”
Karen Ehman
What a fun list to make…A “Thank You, God,” list for what I
have.
A few Sundays ago our pastor shared a statistic that 80% of
what we say is negative. That has really stuck with me and I’ve tried to
capture those negative thoughts before they fly out of my mouth. Not being content is a negative status.
I’m working on allowing the Spirit to keep me living more in the positive
column! Those living around me
will be so glad!
