out the window

One of the things that can get me discontent and frustrated is the view from our windows. Here is our view out of the three main rooms we are in when we are at our apartment: bedroom, living room and kitchen

Out the bedroom window...
 Out the living room window (not zoomed in)...
 Our kitchen window...
There are days where I just sit and wish we looked at something other than concrete. I would love to see something green or some kind of nature. I find myself wishing we had the kind of view we had at our old townhouse (lots of trees), but I was never 100% satisfied there either, I complained about other things. It is so challenging to just be content where I am and with what I have. I am so thankful for so many things about our apartment, why do I focus on this negative?!? Why am I always longing for something else... and it's always SOMETHING. Oh, that my satisfaction would be in Christ alone!
