Teaching Contentment in a Discontented World

“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.” I Timothy 6:6-7

This summer spend some time examining gratefulness and contentment in the hearts of your children.

A few goals to work through this summer would be:

  • Make plans to use your home to show hospitality to someone God lays on your heart. Trust God’s sovereignty that He has entrusted you with the income and possessions to freely share with others.
  • Recognize any areas where your words cut people down or show discontentment or even jealousy. Study applicable passages and lead some devotions in Proverbs on this topic.
  • Lead your children in expressing and showing gratefulness to their father working hard and providing for your family. Make thank you cards for Dad.
