5 Reasons Why a Bigger House Isn’t Always Better

I once heard that contentment isn’t having what you want, but wanting what you have. I agree, and I’d take it a step further and say contentment is possible because Jesus gives us the strength and ability to “want what we have.” We sometimes forget we aren’t supposed to be able to be content without the help of our Savior. So I’d say, a perfect place to live would not be in a bigger or better house, it would be to live in contentment until and if we’re led to move elsewhere.

What would you add to this list as reasons a bigger house isn’t always better?
