Joy or Discontentment? Its Your Choice!

I'd be lying straight through my teeth if I were to tell you I'm always a perfectly content stay-at-home wife. In all honesty, there are days I want to break through my front door and full out sprint away from home. Is this a right attitude? No =(. Lately, the Lord has been really pressing the lesson of contentment upon me. Yes, I get lonely at home. Yes, I do get bored too. BUT just because I get lonely and bored, does that mean its not what I'm suppose to be doing? Not at all. On the contrary, its usually the tougher things that are the right things to do. Instead of living in discontentment, I need to learn to choose to be thankful. I've been reading through the book (for the 4th time) Created To Be His Helpmeet by Debi Pearl. Today I read a chapter on choosing to do just that, have a thankful heart. A thankful heart creates a joyful heart. But it won't just happen. We must CHOOSE to have a thankful heart. So, here I am, alone and still awaiting for my man to get home. What will I choose? I think its time to be thankful=) 

PHILIPPIANS 4:11

"Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."
