The world is infinitely deceived in thinking that contentment lies in having more than we already have. Here lies the bottom and root of all contentment, when there is an evenness and proportion between our hearts and our circumstances. That is why many godly men who are in a low position live more sweet and comfortable lives than those who are richer.
~Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
Painting ~ Young Mother Sewing, Mary Cassatt 1844-1926
