In Which Tent Do You Live?

Good Morning Christian Peeps! I read this on the back of our bulletin and wanted to share..... 1 Timothy 6:6 Godliness with contentment is great gain. All men live in one of two tents - content or discontent. In which do you live?



The contented man looks beyond his circumstances and sees a better day; The discontented man looks at his circumstances and sees no other way.

The contented man understands the purpose for which he was born; the discontented man looks at other's success with a face that is filled with scorn.

The contented man has surrendered to a purpose that demands his best; the discontented man has selfishly hoarded much and , grasping more, he will not rest.

The contented man has placed his values on things that will forever last; the discontented mand places his values on things that will soon be past.

The contented man is anchored to clear goals and hardly ever swayed; the discontented man has no goals that anchor him and is many times dismayed.

The contented man counts hi blessings and names them one by one; the discontented man counts others' blessings and thinks he has no fun.

All of us live in one of these two tents - content or discontent. In which do you live? (John Maxwell)

Be Blessed!
