You may never get to that perfect world that you're waiting for where everything's going to be perfect and you got that much money and your house paid off.

Keep the right perspective Some people would love to have your problems. They would gladly trade places with you. They would love to have the job that frustrates you. They would love to sit in traffic in that car you don't like. They would love to have your husband, who gets on your nerves. They would love to live in the house you think is too small.

Whatever you want too much you can't have, so when you really want something, try to want it a little less.

You must arrange your days so that you are experiencing deep contentment, joy and confidence in your everyday life with God.

Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make.

Here's one of the great challenges of life. Being happy with what you have while in pursuit of what you want.

Life is supplied with a basic adequacy.

Christians will want to be in the vanguard in favoring ways of life that decisively break with the exhausting and joyless frenzy of consumerism.

Word I was in my life alone, / Word I had no one left but God.

Happy is the person who has learned the secret of being content with whatever life brings him, and has learned to rejoice in the simple and beautiful things around him.

Even if our home burns down we can rebuild it. But the things that we got for nothing, we can never replace.

As having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
