12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:12-13
This weekend I'm mediating on the verse above in Philippians. I feel this one. I know what's it's like to not know if you're going to have a roof over your head or food on the table. Although my Mom did a great job providing for us...this was a very real part of my childhood. A part of my past that I'm grateful for now.
I know the feeling of lack.
This weekend I plan to sign my first Resolution. A Resolution To Be Content.
The Resolution reads like this...
I do solemnly resolve to embrace my current season of life and will maximize my time in it.
I will resist the urge to hurry through or circumvent any portion of my journey but will live with a spirit of contentment.
Resolved,
Jackie
Lovely....thank you. It's something to ponder.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed reading this. We all forget to be thankful for where we are and for what we have.
ReplyDeleteI was never without but knew people who were and I try never to take for granted anything good in my life.
I need to ponder on the verse you shared. It's one I'm not really familiar with.
Blessings, Barb
Beautiful Jackie!
