Contented Without Contentment
New Cyclopedia of Illustrations
Hebrews 13:5
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as you have: for he has said, I will never leave you…


What a beautiful example for all of us is the resolution of the old lady who, from a crabbed and anxious body, became quite the opposite! When asked what had induced the change, she replied, "To tell you the truth, I have been all my life striving for a contented mind, and finally concluded to sit down contented without it."
