Daily Scripture
I have learned to be content
no matter what happens to
me. I know what it's like not
to have what I need. I also
know what it's like to have
more than I need. I have
learned the secret of being
content no matter what hap-
pens. I am content whether I
am well fed or hungry. I am
content whether I have more
than enough or not enough.
I can do everything by the
power of Christ. He gives me
strength Philippians 4 11-13
