Rather than thinking only of all the things that were unpleasant, Paul was listing his many blessings even while he was in prison for preaching the gospel. The letter to the Christians at Philippi is filled with joy and Happiness. This is one of the letters that Paul wrote from the prison.

The Philippian Christians had sent one of their members, Epaphro- ditus, to bring gifts to Paul in prison. How grateful the missionary was for their thoughtfulness and their love! How easy it is for Christians to mur mur and complain about the little things that they do not like.
