Learning Contentment

The reality of the things we do at Christmas is that they often bring a sense of discontentment for many people. We greatly miss those who aren't with us, the gifts we give and the gifts we receive don't elicit the responses we hoped, and the family reunions are often met with lots of dissatisfaction.

On December 27, I am teaching in our worship service at 10:45, and I am preparing to tackle this issue of contentment. I am teaching out of Philippians 4, where Paul says, "I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content." In anticipation of that message, I'd love for you to contribute to the process. How do you learn contentment? Can you illustrate this principle from your own life? Comment on this here or email me at mholmes@istrouma.org.

Hope and Peace to you.
