🧺 Everyday CONTENTMENT: grace in the simple and small

Small moments, steady joy, and the gift of now

Welcome to your Monday moment of peace.

Have you ever thought, “Once things settle down, then I’ll feel better”? Or, “If only I had that job… that house… that peace in my relationships…”?

We all do it—reach for a future that feels just out of grasp, hoping it will finally make us feel full. But the truth is, contentment isn’t found in having more. It’s found in learning to see what we already have as a gift.

And that’s not passivity—it’s deep trust. Trust that God is here, now. That he is enough. That we are enough, when we are in him.

This week in Girlfriends, we’re settling into the quiet grace of contentment with:

• St. Thérèse of Lisieux shows us why holiness isn’t about doing more, it’s about loving more deeply

• A simple act—pouring milk—becomes a visual prayer in classic art

• A photo challenge to help you see contentment in your everyday life

• Gentle prompts and one small daily challenge to slow down, surrender, and receive what God has already given
