Practicing the Art of Contentment

We have been on this journey, this journey to debt free for almost a year now and have made very little progress. In fact we have actually racked up an extra 8000 in medical debt, but I am not mad, I am not ready to throw in the towel. I am thankful. That sounds weird, right? It's true. I am thankful that even though we have this medical debt we are all healthy and safe because we were able to get the care we needed.

I am thankful that we are on this debt free journey. We haven't paid a lot off, and while that is frustrating I am thankful that we are in a position where we can pay it off eventually. Slow and steady wins the race, every time.

Our house needs repair and it is certainly not the prettiest or biggest one on the block. The four of us live in 742 square feet and I am grateful for every single one of them. We have a roof over our heads and we can afford it, I am so thankful.

We don't have a lot of money to do things out of the house with our family and for that I am thankful. We have had the best quality time together as a family playing a board game or just talking and hanging out. When we do get to go and do things everyone is excited, happy and you guessed it thankful that we get to go out and do something together as a family. A family I could not be more grateful for.

God is great, look at your life and all he has given you. You may feel deprived while you are on this journey, but take a look around you. I betcha you can find 5 things you are so thankful to have in your life in a matter or minutes. Remember this isn't forever, it's for now and for now be thankful for what you do have and practice the art of contentment. It will make you feel better guaranteed.

We don't have the best of everything but we make the best of everything we have.
