It is the grateful, faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much. It is to take the cup of Providence, and call upon the name of the Lord. What the cup contains is its contents. To get all that is in the cup is the act and art of contentment. Not to drink because one has but half a cup, or because one does not like its flavor, or because somebody else has silver to one's own glass, is to lose the contents; and that is the penalty, if not the meaning, of discontent. No one is discontented who employs and enjoys to the utmost what he has. It is high philosophy to say, we can have just what we like if we like what we have; but this much at least can be done, and this is contentment: to have the most and best in life by making the most and best of what we have.   ...

He would therefore have them continually concerned either with Eternity (which means being concerned with Him) or with the Present -- either meditating on their eternal union with, or separation from, Himself; or else obeying the present voice of conscience, bearing the present cross, receiving the present grace, giving thanks for the present pleasure.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead; It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead; It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26566]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh! how many torments lie in the small circle of a wedding ring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thank You Friend I never came to you, my friend, and went away without some new enrichment of the heart; More faith and less of doubt, more courage in the days ahead.
