Learn ( Psalm 23 v 1 )

A  Margaret Gallagher is 77 and lives in Co Fermanagh in Ulster, she has lived all her life in a thatched cottage,and in all that time she has had no running water or electricity.She has to go a well 10 times a day.She has led an active life, even receiving  an award from the Queen for services in the community.When interviewed she gave us all a bit of advice,'be content with what you have'.In a world that is always pressurising us to buy, buy,buy. it is so easy to become discontented.It is the word of God that warns us against a love of money, many people crave after money,but the scripture challenges us with the following words ,that some people think that godliness is a means of financial gain, Again those words cut across the so called prosperity gospel,but no says Paul,' godliness with ..  contentment is great gain'. ( 1 Timothy 6 v 6 )
