Look without any judgement and with compassion. See what you have. Think of your friends, family and people whom you love. Think of the people who love you. Think about things that you are good at doing. Think of things you like to do. You can feel contentment, even while some or many things are not as you would like them to be. In this moment, things are as they are. You feel as you feel. In the next moment, things will change and you will adjust to how things will be then. For the rest of your life, that is what you will do.

Finding Contentment through Prayer

Greetings, contented souls! Today, on #PrayerTimeThursday, let's discuss how prayer can lead us to find contentment.

In prayer, we express gratitude for what we have and surrender our desires to God's will. Let us seek contentment through prayer, trusting that God's plans are greater than our own.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, lead us to contentment through prayer. May we be thankful for your provisions and find peace in your perfect plan. Amen.

Ch 30: Packed Like Sardines Verse 4

The room was filled with a sense of camaraderie and determination as Tailor and Trace discussed their plans for the wooden bolts. Erzabet, sitting a little apart from them, couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. She observed the bond between the two, their shared comfort and understanding, and it stirred something within her.

Feeling a surge of vulnerability, Erzabet turned to Rachelle, who was quietly occupied with her own thoughts. "Hey Dr. Duboise," she crooned, "the boys don't seem to mind the lack of privacy..."

Rachelle looked up from her contemplation, her expression stoic and unfazed. "Envy, Erzabet? That's not a characteristic I expected from you. We all have different paths, and not everyone finds the same kind of companionship."

Erzabet sighed, her voice tinged with longing. "I know, Rachelle. It's just that seeing the love and support they have for each other reminds me of... connections I've lost throughout the centuries. It's a reminder of the void that remains within me."

Rachelle's gaze softened, her tone offering a touch of empathy. "Erzabet, you have your own strengths and experiences. It's not about comparing yourself to others or longing for what you don't have. Embrace who you are and find contentment within yourself."

Erzabet nodded, her eyes reflecting a mix of bitter acceptance and lingering desire. "You're right, Rachelle. I need to focus on my own journey and find my own fulfillment. Perhaps the void can be filled by my own swollen ego."

Rachelle's lips curled into a small smile, her voice steady and wise. "That's the spirit, Erzabet. We all have our own paths to walk, and each one is unique and valuable in its own way. Don't let envy cloud your perception of your own worth, and don't mind me, I found some earplugs and a sleep mask in one of the crates we broke down." She pulls her prize out of her bag.

As Rachelle tuned out the constant banging, Erzabet took a moment to reflect on Rachelle's words. She realized that finding contentment within oneself was a journey worth pursuing, and that true fulfillment could come from embracing her own strengths and experiences.

I've come to know love doesn't always equal constant happiness .. maybe love is just a lot of trial and error in trying to figure out what please the other person and what doesn't. but at the end of the day, if their happy.. aren't you happy too?
