the amish
i just heard something amazing on oprah today. she and gayle were on their cross country trip and they stopped to visit an amish community. the amish couple they interviewed stated that they were 100% content, and part of that had to do with their simples lives, and another part of that had to do with striving for contentment ~ choosing to be content. they search for and work on being content. I LOVE THAT! i'm learning that you have to pursue peace, work on contentment, decide to be happy with what you have and where you are in your life. then the blessings can really be appreciated!

so true. the devil's big sin is and was ambition. and, contentment is the opposite of that. i think that we are all bitten by the ambition bug. always wanting and needing more.
Yes ladies, I agree. How do you calm that ambition bug down? What can you do to let him know he can rest for a while. I think ambition is not all that bad of a thing. It is what gets us to get out of the bed in the morning and be successful people. I'm just wondering if you live with someone who is CRAZY ambitions, how do you slow that down? Even for a minute! :)
