Contentment versus Covetousness

This is WEEK 7 of the Character Development Series I am doing for 2012.  So glad you stopped by.   

“Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase”  John Balguy

He enjoys much who is thankful for little; a grateful mind is both a great and a happy mind.”  Thomas Secker 

 You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.”  Vernon Howard

“We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.” Frederick Keonig

We should strive to be content and not covet what we don’t have.
