A cheerful heart has a continual feast.
Proverbs 15:15
Many folks eat their hearts out, suffering from the
contagious "If Only" disease. Its germs infect every slice of life.
If only I had more money.
If only we owned a nicer home.
If only we could have children.
If only he would ask me out.
If only I had more friends.
The list is endless. Woven through the fabric of all those
words is a sigh that comes from the daily grind of discontentment.
Taken far enough, it leads to the dead-end street of
self-pity---one of the most distasteful and inexcusable of all attitudes.
Discontentment is one of those daily grinds that forces
others to listen to our list of woes. But they don't for long! Discontented
souls soon become lonely souls.
