Contentment #1 It's a long lesson learned. #2 It's actually a long lesson being learned! Try this:  Lie in bed and think about contentment. That's what I was doing.  I was lying in bed, thinking about contentment...thinking about the path we've come down...about how being content has been gently pounded into me...remembering all the times of discontent...and how God has always brought me out.  He's always given me little glimpses of hope to keep me going.  He's a good God.  You can try this, but I don't recommend it:  Go broke.
