Philippians 4:11 ESV
In his book Money: A User's Manual, Bob Russell describes a farmer who once grew discontent with his farm. He griped about the lake on his property always needing to be stocked and managed. . . .And those fat cows lumbered through his pasture. All the fencing and feeding - what a headache!
He called a Realtor and made plans to list the farm. A few days later the agent phoned wanting approval for the advertisement she intended to place in the local paper. She read the ad to the farmer. It described a lovely farm in an ideal location - quiet and peaceful, contoured with rolling hills, carpeted with soft meadows, nourished by a fresh lake, and blessed with well-bred livestock. The farmer said, "Read that to me again."
After hearing it a second time, he decided, "I've changed my mind I'm not going to sell. I've been looking for a place like that all my life."
