A Lot or A Little?

I've been thinking about contentment.  I've been hoping that my life mirrors Paul's when he says,
Philippians 4:11-13 (NLT) Not that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. ¹² I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.
¹³ For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

The lesson God gave me today is this - learning to be content with a lot or a little is a matter of perspective.  Either I look at my life circumstances from my own perspective or from God's. You see I'm truly content with downsizing into a garden home, but where would my faith be if I downsized into a studio apartment?  PERSPECTIVE....looking at life from God's point of view. 

Made me realize...my "little" is a lot for so many.... one car/no car; fixed income/no income; family not close by/no family that cares....Get the picture?  Thank you God for Your lesson on perspective!
