All Dressed Up…

I felt I needed a little sass on Midlife Moments, so I created a theme based around my hair If you cant see it, hold down your control key and f5 at the same time…. see, there it is!

There are some big things coming up, but I cant write about them just yet (shhh its a secret!) But I know that many of you will love what I am going to share!

Ive spent most of the day belting out praise and worship- I cant tell you how important worship is, it completely undoes any anxiety I feel. Emma has been spinning around like a little fairy, praising God in her own special way.

We have had a really good day, her and I. The older kids are going to a baseball game with their daddy tonight and I am going to relax and order take out…. and just be content.

Contentment is not satisfaction. It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little, or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all there is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because some one else has silver to one’s own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like, if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment,–to have the most and best in life, by making the most and best of what we have.

Amen to that!
