There are really so many.  I actually have this book on my 

*Contentment is accepting God’s sovereign control over all of life’s circumstances.

*Ultimately, contentment is more a shift in attitude than a change in circumstances.

*Happiness is getting what we want; contentment is wanting what we get.

*Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.

Review

I really loved this book and I really needed to read it when I did.  I was/am having some extended family issues that have really torn me up.  I was in a very desperate place for a while.  While this book didn’t solve my problems overnight.  It did give me peace.  I am not in complete control over what happens to my relationships, but I am in control of me.  I can choose to be content and not let these circumstances tear me apart and turn me into a person that I don’t want to be.  I can choose to make these circumstances make me stronger and make me a better person.  I can make these circumstances bring me closer to God, instead of turning the other way.  I highly recommend this book.  I know I will be reading it again.  It is my intention to read it again next year along with the companion journal.
