Be content so we are not always stretched to the limit

I did not forget to record my joys earlier this week, even though I had a life lesson learned from a pretty messed up night. But as a friend reminded me not long ago:

“God is good all the time and all the time, God is good.”

And we are to give thanks all the time and all the time, we are to give thanks.

So being content, dwelling and thanking….
