Other books by Cathy:
Thank you, Susan. I enjoyed writing this book so much. Indeed, life and the Lord taught me peace. Paul noted that he had "learned" to be content. I've found the learning of contentment in all circumstances remains a school of continuing education :-).
ReplyDeleteLearning contentment is definitely a continuing process. I think of Paul's statement every time I get discouraged. Of course, Philippians is one of my favorite books.
ReplyDeleteOh and you're welcome. I get so busy I forget what was written at the top of the comment. *:9)
