Contentment Is...




  • Watching your 7 yr. old enjoy riding his bike around the house just like you did when you were a kid.
  • Delighting in a 4 yr. old's sudden strength for independence.
  • Realizing that your unfinished house already feels like home.
  • "Green Eggs and Ham" being read in a little voice.
  • The overwhelming presence of God amidst obstacles
  • Goodnight kisses for "baby brother" from 4 big brothers.
  • "Beautiful Places" in your backyard created by four beautiful and creative minds.
  • Friends who call to see how you are doing.
  • Living with a 5 yr. old gentleman who takes off his hat, and bows to you while saying "Your Majesty".
  • Peace when your children are happy, content, and exhausted from a day of work.
  • Thankfulness to the Lord for his incredible presence, love, and blessings revealed everyday.
  • Sharing the Joy of a 2 yr. old at the return of a loved one.
  • Adoration sons have for their fathers.
  • A parent's love for their child being made perfect through Jesus Christ.
