Of Course

Of course you are content said the child to the adult

Of course you are content said the Egyptian to the American

Of course you are content said the single to the married

Of course you are content said the barren to the mother

Of course you are content said the blue collar to the white collar

Of course you are content said the worker to the retired

Of course you are content said the homeless to housed 

Of course you are content said the imprisoned to the free

Of course you are content said the poor to the rich

Of course you are content said the sick to the healthy 

Of course they thought they knew why others were content, 

but of course they passed through life never knowing the thing itself 

Philippians 4:11-14- Paul said: "Whatever situation I am to be content.

I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound.

In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret

of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble.”

May you find in Christ the strength to share in the troubles of another today.

If only we knew
