My friend, Jenny, shared these with me from a book she is reading. I thought they were so great that I needed to post them as well (hope that's ok Jenny). This was written in the diary of a missionary...
1. Never allow yourself to complain about anything– not even the weather.
2. Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
3. Never compare your lot with another’s.
4. Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
5. Never dwell on tomorrow– remember that [tomorrow] is God’s, not ours.
–Mary Tileston, Daily Strength for Daily Needs
We all need to learn to be content. I need to learn to never complain.
