Comment Question

Mama Temple,
I know you follow this blog so maybe you will see this. I was reading at your blog and wanted to contact you but I can't for the life of me figure out how to comment. And you don't have a contact in your profile. So I will ask here and maybe I will hear from you. Thanks!

Everyone else, just carry on.

Discontent

WE often make our duties harder by thinking them hard. We dwell on the things we do not like till they grow before our eyes, and, at last, perhaps shut out heaven itself. But this is not following our Master, and He, we may be sure, will value little the obedience of a discontented heart. The moment we see that anything to be done is a plain duty, we must resolutely trample out every rising impulse of discontent. We must not merely prevent our discontent from interfering, with the duty itself; we must not merely prevent it from breaking out into murmuring; we must get rid of the discontent itself. Cheerfulness in the service of Christ is one of the first requisites to make that service Christian.

Happy New Year!

Check out the new blog. It's kind of like my New Year resolution... which I generally don't make.
