“The happiest people don’t have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have.” Mother Teresa

Ecclesiastes 5: 19-20 tells us that true contentment comes from enjoying what God has given us…and in Ecclesiastes 7:14 it states, “When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made one as well as the other.” So when we’re faced with blessings or challenges we need to realize that they are both part of God’s sovereign plan. It’s then our decision whether to be joyful, happy, and grateful… or miserable. For even in the middle of challenges, we can be content and reflective…allowing our faith to grow deeper.
