Let's Be Content

And Grateful

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 10 months ago 1 min read
To Have This Life

“I may not have everything

I want in life,

I am blessed enough

to have all that I need.

For this,

I am grateful”

“Gratitude”

for what we do have in our Lives

will bring Contentment.

We will Cherish

all that we have and who we have

in our own Lives.

In this way,

we are ‘counting our blessings’.

When we sit down and think about what and who we have

in our everyday existence,

we are very often surprised

at how much we do actually have.

“We may not have it all together,

but together

we have it all”.

Lovely and United words!

Joy can really be Achieved

when we become Content

with the things and the people

we have in our Lives.

We can only be Content

when we Appreciate

what we have

and what we have been given.

Our mother and father gave us our Lives,

and all through this Life,

we are given ‘Gifts’.

We don’t strive for more

when we are Happy

with what we have

TODAY.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
