Love or Hate the Heat...This Season...Your "Season" of Life...?

Do you Love or Hate This "Season" of Life...?
..
Around the country, we’ve had some pretty extreme heat waves! In fact, it’s hit 100 degrees a couple of times in the Pacific Northwest, where I live… and that’s super rare!
It’s easy to complain when it’s hot.
But it’s equally easy to complain when it’s cold.
..
Honestly, I think it’s just easy to NOT be content with whatever is happening and to complain a little…always hoping for something new or better or more ideal.
..
Ultimately, the only way to be happy in life is to be content.
If you’re not content, you will always be longing for more and dissatisfied, which leads to frustration and anger and acting out…and sometimes just being a horrible person to others!
Are you content with your:
💡Job
💡Family
💡Car
💡House
💡Meals
💡Entertainment
💡Rest
💡Kids
💡Love
💡Clothes
..
..
I want to encourage everyone to be content.
..
And remember that the secret to contentment is explained well by the 1st-century author and leader, the Apostle Paul:
“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 4:12-13 NIV

..
Be content… by trusting God to meet all your needs.
Next… start naming all the reasons you have for being grateful… including the Summer heat!
