...for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. ~ Philippians 4:11b-13, NIV
Anywhere. I can be miserable and take a geographical,
moving to make things better in a new place
and I take the misery with me, accomplishing less than nothing.
But if my head is in the right place, if I'm in recovery,
if I have surrendered and I'm right in my mind,
I can stand before a judge and when she asks
how I am, I can say, "I'm blessed." And when I'm the judge
and hears that response, I learn again the wisdom of a prisoner
named Paul who learned the lesson I yearn to learn
so I can really be content wherever!
