Homemaking and Discontentment

Open window with countryside view and sunlight

“Discontentment is basically saying, “I don’t like what You’ve provided, God.  I deserve better.”  Discontentment is rooted in ungratefulness.  Think of how you feel when you provide good things for your children, and all they do is complain.  It’s ugly, right?

It’s a victim mentality.  I believe God wants us to come at this from a position of power and self-control.”

    Sweet. Sweet. Amen. Amen. This strikes close to home for me. God has brought me, through repentance, to a much happier place. When you are content you can enjoy all the blessings that God has given.

    Hi Natalie,

    I read your post on Keeper of the Home. I just wanted you to know that our family recently purchased 80 acres just south of the cities and we’d love for you and your family to come enjoy it any time. Seriously, just ask any time. There is some prairie and some woods with walking trails throughout.
