This quote from When Life Gets Hard by James Gordon Gilkey caused me to think this morning. Someone once asked King George V to write an inscription on the fly leaf of a Bible, and these were the strange words he penned:
"The secret of finding happiness is not to do what you like to do, but to learn to like what you have to do."
(Phil 4:12 NIV) I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.(Phil 4:13 NIV) I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
