Contentment and Thankfulness

How much money is enough? How many cars can you drive and how many pairs of shoes can you wear? And why isn't one man or woman enough to keep you at home, or even two? The truth is people are never satisfied. When they're struggling financially they cry, "If I could just find a decent job and get back on my feet!" But the minute they get that decent job they immediately go deeper into debt charging up credit cards trying to have MORE! When people find themselves in bad relationships they pray for God to send them a good man or women. But not long after we receive that person into our lives we often begin to take them for granted. Instead of being thankful we want MORE! If you really think about l it, most of us could do with less... less cable, less big screen TV's, less clothes, and certainly less people to have sex with. Until we start appreciating what we have and start cultivating relationships with people who love us for who we are instead what they can get...we'll never be satisfied, and as a result, we'll never truly be happy! ~ Michael Baisden
