Hot! and Content?

Hot... Hot...Hot! What a grumpy hot day! To tell you all the truth, I'm quite ready for this summer to end. I'm ready for fall... for crisp red apples, really ripe tomatoes, for cooler temperatures, hoodies and hot chocolate! I'm ready for some of my friends to return, to get back into a routine, to start living a normal life again. Why is it that we as humans tend to always want something else? When it's winter we eagerly anticipate spring, and then when it starts getting hotter we long for the snow again. We long to be with friends, but after being with them for so long... we long to be alone again. Wow when you look at life that way, it seems like Paul had a reason to joyfully say that he had learned to be content in whatsoever state he was in. Looking over my life, I know that I definately need hep in that area. Help me Lord.. to learn true contentment. Contement in my place in life with you, yet ever striving forward.
