What is contentment?

Contentment has always been something that I've had trouble defining. I know what it feels like, but I have a lot of trouble putting it into words. Today I read a blog post on another site about contentment. The author of the post shares a quote from The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment. She defines contentment as "that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God’s wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.”

I think that's a pretty good definition for us followers of Christ. Anyways I thought I'd share that since we're reading a book about contentment. You can read the rest of the post here-
