Content as Cats
Sometimes I just like to watch what’s happening around me and reflect on it. I’m sure I’m not alone. I know others who ‘people watch’ or ‘bird watch’ but I’m not just focused on people or animals. I like to look at the whole picture around me. I think we get a better understanding of our world when we simply watch and listen and observe.
And especially when we have a new experience or environment. For me, I’m learning all sorts of things about cats. Simply watching them helps me understand their behavior. Now, I had cats growing up, but they were barn cats, so I didn’t get to observe them regularly throughout the day. The cats I have now, however, give me a chance to see how they behave more of the time.
And what struck me this past week about my cats is how content they seem to be. My cats may be more docile than others because they let the kids tote them around like bags of flour, but I think most house cats are similar. And I started to wonder why they might appear so content to me. I thought about how their basic needs are met with consistent food and water, a safe environment and the availability of interaction (cat to cat and cat to human). And for a cat, maybe that’s enough.
But then I got to thinking about why I’m not content most of the time. I have all of my basic needs met, and even much more than I even need, but I don’t find contentment in my life all of the time. And that’s more than just worry and anxiety, but an actual longing for more in my life.
So, what makes me discontent in my life? Well, I think there’s a very good discontentment that we naturally have that we need to pay attention to, like discontentment with injustice or bad habits in our life. But what about financial contentment or relational contentment. Why do we always want more? I think part of it is the good discontentment leaks into the bad discontentment. But even more it’s about defining what we need. We know what’s out there. We know what we don’t have. And if we don’t define what we truly need, then we’ll always be searching for something more.
Paul writes to his protégé Timothy in 1 Timothy 6.6-8: “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.” Paul defines contentment as food and clothing. I would say he is assuming our relationship with God and with others, but he keeps it pretty simple. So I pray we define what we truly need and, with God’s help, learn to be content with that. God bless.

This amazing weblog is
This amazing weblog is absorbing. Articles and reviews just like this are regularly neglected, if
real truth be discussed. Mostly the very best of the Net will not be
the very most broadly marketed material, nonetheless
instead almost everything else, the pushed aside people with personal
blogs that are in reality way better rather than those of essential widely known persons.
This is this type of a blog page. I will deliver help,
perhaps in cases where we're not encouraged
to do so. First is, keep writing. Second is, keep creating habitually.
Finally is, apply your own personal web log to
grow your particular style. I am possibly not a author per se;
I am in reality a Postpartum Massage Practitioner.
I perform Postnatal Perinatal Massage by Mountainside Massage Therapy Therapy, aiding
women of all ages to restore immediately after having a little one.
It's enjoyable activity. That is what I expend
the majority of of my time accomplishing, however I
have also cherished penning from the moment I was a teen. I browse a number of books and every year I go
through a bunch way higher compared to myself personally.
haha In the upcoming calendar year, probably I might
get determined concerning blogging. The problem is, it can't just simply a thought; the function of creating and
establishing often helps make a blog develop in time.

This is not the first
This is not the first moment in time I
uncovered a website that was very well worth writing comments on. This distinct
information is fascinating to me personally. I certainly live a way
of life of a large number of settings; that is
to say that my job activities vary. I carry out Postnatal Massage.
Simultaneously, I buy and sell collectibles. I'm discovering Centos8.
And, that's merely a few activities I undertake.
At any rate, my point is, each of us all approaches a niche from a completely unique
mindset. Just about every experience we have forms us and our
perspective of our own selves and the universe all around us all.
I suppose determining some variety of superior impression of real truth is just where almost
everything most of us communicate about brings us to.
That being said, exactly how do individuals then interact?
Is it actually possible? I think all of our own personal additions to the
Internet Commons shifts a lot of citizens, often times.
Thus contemplate that, bloggers and commenters. Your own comment could very
well be of assistance to another individual. Or even, responses can easily do the opposite.
Plus, you in fact have to care to try to aid other individuals to develop and not decline.
Thanks a lot for this specific blog; I personally am
submitting this site with my other superb websites I've found that I even bothered to comment on. Continue
to never stop penning! Keep revealing!
