There are some things in life that, arguably, are inextricably linked, like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Like Frank Sinatra sang, you can’t have one without the other. Contentment and gratitude are like that. Just try to experience one without the other (Philippians 4:11). Contentment fosters gratitude; gratitude brings on contentment, or at least soothes discontent. Think of that the next time you see a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
