Don’t Spoil It!  *  “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”  (Epicurus)  *  “But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.”  (1 Timothy 6:6-8)
