Happiness lies in the appreciation and quiet enjoyment of what we have—not in the restless yearning for what we have not—in casting out desire, and replacing it with rejoicing. How hard this lesson is to learn, and yet how simple it really is! Desire has never brought happiness, but only unhappiness. But contentment—an inner state of the mind beyond the control of any outside influence— is an immediate guarantee of happiness and peace.

This time of the year for me at least you can certainly see God's glory. You walk outside in the morning, the weather is perfect, the leaves are all just now turning green. The Sun is coming up and you can hear birds making all their noises.
You can definitely have a moment of quiet reflection/ enjoyment with what God has given us, or allowed us to be a part of.
Its not until we let the world creep in that we start feeling unsatisfied.

I agree, it has been absolutely beautiful lately. Even God's seasons teach us lessons! For we only have a short time, before things will get awful hot and then die. Time is truly short. Lets take advantage of the time, and grow in the truth, while the atmosphere is so favorable to us. Not all disciples of Christ were in the same boat.
