    ooo! i think i’m going to do this on my blog, too! :) such a neat little idea! also, i loved what you said about contentment. that’s really been on my heart lately. it’s so hard to get wrapped up in the things that we want…whether it be material or in our relationships (what we want someone to be), but in reality, we have everything we could ever need. it’s difficult sometimes to choose to be grateful…you look around at some people and think “i wish i had what they had” (again, material or relationship-wise), and then you know that there are others who wish that they had what they needed…the things that we already have and take for granted. such a reality check, huh? sorry…did not mean to make this so long! thanks for the inspiration!

    blessings!

    i love this idea! i think i might use it for my blog :) i love what you said about contentment. this has been on my heart so much lately. we always want what we don’t have…whether it’s material things or aspects of a relationship. it’s difficult to choose to be content with what God has given us. we look around at others and want what they have, and then there are others who look at us and need what we have… :) thank you for the inspiration and encouragement! blessings!
