These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves, and they flatter others to get what they want. [Jude 16]
Contentment...
regardless of circumstances.
Contentment...
regardless of whether or not what I do is worthy of recognition.
Contentment...
regardless of how hard the job or seemingly unimportant the task.
Contentment...
resting in God's direction, care and counsel.
Complaining and a lack of contentment are linked in a deep way. Now if I can just tease that out so that I can show God's way, not our "default mode" of operations...
Just thinking out loud...

I bounce back and forth between the two like I have flubber in my butt.
OK, now with the cow image in my mind (thanks to Mindy) and the word contented -- I'm thinking about Carnation Milk. "Contented Cows give better milk."
=o)
I get to the "content" phase -- sometimes. Then something gets under my skin and well ... I'm not so much.
