I'm glad those pictures helped you visualize contentment. And you're right about the importance of contentment in many other areas of our lives. Contentment in Christ gives us the power to find joy in any circumstance and especially in the "routine" things. I'll definitely check out that song. Thanks for taking the time to comment, Trent!

I really like your definition of contentment, it helps me to really visualize it. Contentment is obviously an important topic in respect to finances and consumerism, but I've been struck recently with how important contentment is in regards to marriage and family. I'd have to think that the cause of so much adultery is lack of contentment. Anyway, I'm a huge Switchfoot fan and they have a great song "Faust, Midas and Myself" that addresses this. You should check it out and at least look up the lyrics, it's a good reminder for me everytime I hear it. If you have contentment than the "routine" things in life can be full of joy.
