"I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace."
"Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground."
"Man needs only a small patch of earth for his pleasures, and a smaller one still to rest beneath."
"He who is happy in his hut is better than he who is miserable in his palace."
"He is rich that is satisfied."
"Savour a slow-paced contented life."
"I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. Nothing more than an empty house, the warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream. When one is so tired at the end of a day one must sleep, and at the next dawn there are more strawberry runners to set, and so one goes on living, near the earth. At times like this I'd call myself a fool to ask for more."
"If I continually focus on what I don't have, my life will always be completely empty despite the fact that it's completely full."

"Jesus never commanded believers to produce fruit. Fruit is the *purpose* of the branch, but it is not the *responsibility* of the branch. The branch cannot produce anything on it's own. However, if it remains attached to the vine, it will receive life - sustaining sap, nourishment, strength, everything it needs."

God provided manna - a breadlike food that fell to the ground during the night - to sustain the wandering Israelites and to teach them how to value His Word more than physical fulfillment."
"God never calls His people to accomplish anything without promising to supply their every need."
"Israel's first king, Saul, looked like he was born for the role. He was tall, handsome, intelligent, and sensitive to God's leading. But he eventually lost most of his attractive qualities, the most important being obedience."
"It takes faith to find personal significance in your relationship with God rather than how much money you earn, how beautiful you look, how many toys you own, how many trophies you collect, or how much territory you conquer and control."
"God gave laws to His people to bless them, not to burden them. Every rule either elevates the quality of human life or restores one's relationship with God after a breach. He makes no extraneous demands and He is never capricious."
"A family is a place where principles are hammered and honed on the anvil of everyday living."
