Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned,

in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

I Timothy 6:8

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

 Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness;

and be content with such things as ye have:

for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee

Been working on this for awhile, but more so since hubby's graduation.

Not struggling with "possessions,"  but rather an acceptance of God's will

in my "status" and "situation."

BTW: the idea for a word of the year came from my aunt at 4:53am
