There are some, like me, who are called to live a single life," I said softly. "For them it is always easy for they are, by their nature, content. Others, like Ellen, are called to prepare for marriage which may come in later life.

Never before have so many people had so much and felt so dissatisfied. No wonder we often feel so dissatisfied. No matter how much we have, it can't compare to what others appear to have.

Normally, we're never satisfied.

God says happiness is contentment with what you already have, with what He provides you, with what you can share.
