Be content

I have a small house with my two handsome boys. We are far from poor or needy and I am embarrassed to say I still find myself unsatisfied at times. Knock down a wall here, enlarge a space there, more closets, bigger kitchen. I could go on and on and sometimes I do. Like I said its embarrassing. Lately I have been stopping these thoughts, this need to keep up, with one small phrase, the average person in the World lives on less than $2.50 per day. Poverty looms and I see it around me in everyday life. I know many children that live a very hard life that don't even notice their poverty and I am thinking about the size of my closets. I am finding contentment is a discipline and I am working on it. My mind is less consumed with me when I think of others.
