“So I still do some painting from time to time..when the mood hits me and I come up with some sorta idea..Amen..and I’ll hang them up in the hallway of our home..Amen..and the other day I did four of them that said..Live. In. The. Moment..Amen..but I read this and I think do we live in our moments?..or do we just go through the moments?..Amen..just rush through them..never stop to enjoy them..Amen..or just be content in our moment that we are in..Amen..because how we are in them is how we are and how we will be..Amen..because if we sit down in every moment and our eyes are on a problem or on a situation at hand..it’ll be just that in our lives..Amen..because as Paul said in the bible I had to learn to be content..Amen..that’s what he said..in all things I learned to be content..Philippians 4:11..Amen..and I can say that myself I had to learn and I am still learning to be content..Amen..I have to stop myself when I get to being restless and not at all content..Amen..because sure we can be miserable in our lives and we can murmur and complain about life and what we don’t like and what we wanna change..but unless we get a vision to fix the things that are not pleasing to us or that we are always fussing around about..then we don’t fix anything..we stay in the mess..we stay in the mindset of not being content..and then we just lose our moment..lose our day..lose our peace..and everything else in between..Amen..so we have to learn this morning and keep learning to be content..to keep looking as I had wrote yesterday at the positive side of our lives..because we all have something that is a positive..Amen..I do hope and pray that we all get to a place as to where we are content and satisfied..not being back and forth and up and down..and all a mess..just never changing..never growing up..and never being happy with life..and the life that we ourselves have been gifted with..Amen!”

“Because in being this way..its being like a child who never grows up..and will never be happy at all with anything..Amen..because sure you may get the thing that has been bothering you taken care of..Amen..but then what happens?..we end up wanting something else..and so we go right back to the same ole mindset of not being happy..always wanting more..always being unsatisfied..Amen..and the aspect of that continues..but we are not to be this way..we are to be content and remain that way..not looking at man for what we have need of..but fixing our eyes on the Father and praying to Him and seeking Him for our lives..Amen..because this is the key and the take away..regardless if we have all the things we want..all the money we think we need..those things DO NOT bring happiness or contentment..Amen..so life in and of itself brings happiness..God gives us so much to be thankful for and happy about..Amen..but only God gives us contentment..and He alone quenches every thirst that we have..as the bible says in a dry and thirsty land where no water is..Psalm 63:1..Amen..and only God gives us the joy..and the happiness..and the life that we are truly wanting..but again things do not give us that..so learn to be content..again Paul said in want or need..I learned to be content..in other words if I had everything or I had nothing..I learned to be happy and content..and remain peaceful..because in God’s presence there is fullness of joy and at His right hand there are pleasures evermore..Psalm 16:11..Amen..so think about what you are thinking about..and then adjust that..pray to the Lord..and remain content in your life..don’t live a miserable life all because of people..or because of things..Amen..totally not at all worth it..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
