Message Notes

Thomas Aquinas – Sorrow at someone else’s good 
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:12-13
“Contentment means being satisfied and at rest with where God has you, despite what’s happening around you.”
