Contentment Quotes
-
There is no health in those who are displeased by an element in Your creation, just as there was none in me when I was displeased by many things You had made. Because my soul didn't dare to say that my God displeased me, it refused to attribute to You whatever was displeasing.
Saint Augustine

Some people are searching a little harder than others, granted. But we're not so different.
Buck Brannaman
