"Godliness With Contentment Is Great Gain."

The happiest homes in the world!

(J.R. Miller, "The Shining Light" 1911)

"Godliness with contentment 
is great gain." 1 Timothy 6:6

Nothing is lovelier in life, 
than the spirit of contentment. 

Fretting mars the beauty of many 
a face. Discontent spoils all one's 
world. Out of whatever window 
he looks, the discontented person 
sees something that is not pleasing.

But to a contented person, there 
is only good seen everywhere. 
The happiest homes in the world 
are not those in which are the finest 
carpets, the costliest pictures, 
the most luxurious furniture--
but those in which glad, 
peaceful hearts dwell. 

A contented heart beautifies 
the plainest surroundings, and 
even the hardest conditions.

"I have learned to be content whatever 
the circumstances. I know what it is to be 
in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. 
I have learned the secret of being content 
in any and every situation, whether well fed 
or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 
I can do everything through CHRIST who gives 
me strength!"     Philippians 4:11-13
