#8 - The Secret of Contentment
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.

Charles Spurgeon- "I do want you all to feel that it is not the end, though it may be the beginning, of Christian life to come and hear sermons. Scatter as widely as ever you can the blessing which you get for yourself; the moment you find the light, and realize that the world is in the dark, run away with your match, and lend somebody else a light."
D.L. Moody- "We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine."
