Contentment...

Talchalkos

"Contentment is not satisfaction, it is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have little or much. It is to take the Cup of Providence and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all there is in the Cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to because one has one-half a cup, or because one does not like its flavour or because someone else has silver to ones own glass is to lose the contents and that is the penalty if not the meaning of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost of what they have. It is high philosophy to say we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done and, this contentment, to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.
