Wednesday, October 7th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

“Better a handful of dry dates and content therewith than to own the Gate of Peacocks and be kicked in the eye by a broody camel.”
(Arabian Proverb)

Now if that doesn’t put things into perspective, I don’t know what does. In fact I can think of a lot of things more pleasant than being kicked in the eye by any kind of camel. Paul, the author of Philippians 4:11 encourages us to be content with these words,

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

"God, Thank You for the many blessings You put before me. Help me to always recognize them.
Amen."

Thank You God, for still working on me.
