#8 - The Secret of Contentment Nuggets of Truth

    • Christianity

Often transitions in life can spring discontentment; moves, new babies, a difficult work situation, or hard things with kids. Sometimes it starts from comparison- if I just had her ability to eat whatever she wants and stay thin or just had that talent he has, I would be happy. In so many ways, our society breeds discontentment.
But really, so much of our discontent stems from unmet expectations in life and a lack of gratitude for what we do have. Join us today as we chat about the secret of contentment.
