Contentment

It (contentment) is not opposed to making in an orderly manner our moan and complaint to God, and to our friends.  Though a Christian ought to be quiet under God's correcting hand, he may without any breach of Christian contentment complain to God. As one of the ancients says, Though not with a tumultuous clamour and shrieking out in a confused passion, yet in a quiet, still, submissive way he may unbosom his heart to God.  Likewise, he may communicate his sad condition to his Christian friends, showing them how God has dealt with him, and how heavy the affliction is upon him, that they may speak a word in season to his weary soul.


The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
-Jeremiah Burroughs

We are so thankful for our friends who speak a word in season ...not only to our weary souls but to Girlie's as well.  They are a cherished gift.
