Contentment in Relationships

A few weeks ago I was invited to attend a women's forum. I didn't have any idea of what that meant, but I decided to attend. Yesterday Lisa (yay Lisa!) and I went. All I can say is, "wow." It wasn't so much that I learned anything brand new, however, I was reminded of that which I had forgotten. Four women from all walks of life were at the front of the room. There was a young, single girl. There was a women that was young and had been married for five years. There was a women in her early forties with three children. And there was a woman that was in her fifties with children that were out of the home. They were asked questions about contentment - what it looked like, what the struggles are... etc. My original thought was to share with you the tidbits of information that I learned, but I think I will share my favorite point. No matter how big your problem, no matter what you are going through - remember the big picture. Remember to ask yourself - what is the significance of this trial in light of all eternity. And finally, remember - in the end... LOVE always wins.
