Have I mentioned I have EVERYTHING?

Paul says…“I am not telling you this because I need anything. I have learned to be satisfied with the things I have and with everything that happens.” Philippians 4:11(NCV)

My house is perfect. 
It doesn’t need a single thing, especially not a new dish washer!

My closet is full. 
I have THE perfect outfit for every occasion.

My car is flawless. 
Not one milk stain, or piece of trash, and there are most definitely not any scratches on my mom mobile.

Jealous?

Well don't worry because those are LIES, LIES, AND MORE LIES

The truth is my house is typically a train wreck, my closet is full but most mornings I just stare at my clothes wondering what to wear, and my car…let’s just not even go there. My poor car!

But do I really have any room to complain? NO! I have a house, clothes, food, and a car. Am I satisfied with them all of the time? NO! 
But I should be, I should be. 
Paul wrote this statement while in JAIL! If he can find satisfaction in life while in jail, certainly I can put a smile on my face when staring at a dishwasher that refuses to dry the dishes.
