Being content with what we have and be thankful for it.
They spent a solid one hour searching for the best present for their son. They wanted nothing but the best for him. They see no rest till they are completely satisfied with the quality of the product he gets.
This time it was his birthday and they went an extra mile to get the best present. They finally selected the latest model remote controlled car and covered it with a gift wrapper. They could hardly wait to show it to him.
On reaching home, they held out the present to him. He got it with great excitement and pestered them to open it. After opening he grabbed the wrapper and ran off to play with it. He just wouldn't see the car at all. They tried their best to get him to play with the car but couldn't. Finally they gave up.
His requirement was something to play with and he was content with the shiny wrapper. They were dejected because they were chasing the best. There would always be something better than the best.
Contentment with what we have gives us joy what nothing else could bring. Contentment can be brought in life only by being thankful to all the gifts God is showering us every day. Take a couple of minutes every day to thank God for the wonderful life God has given us.
