In all the doom and gloom news and thoughts and ideas, I have to ask…..am I doing what I can where I am with what I have?
We face struggles with finances as everyone does…..I know how to make simple, homemade foods that are nutritionally better and taste wonderful as well…..I have a home to clean and laundry to wear……I have yard space that could grow things and an energy efficient home…..do I use what I have wisely?
We all are aware that with current conditions, we are less likely to have more financially, but more likely to do with less……and in our home, I find less would be enough….we have far too many clothes….shoes….coats….we have more than enough food, and could work on how to use what we have better….we could make more of the home time we have, with less money…..and we are trying to.
I spend Mondays looking and putting away the “too much” that we have now, in these times, reflecting that even in the toughest of times, there is much excess in our lives…..and though times may become leaner….we are a people that are used to excess…..and used to believing that whatever level living we have earned is “not enough”…..I know that that is not true for my life…I have been given more than enough….though less as years go by……and even that less is more than enough and certainly more than I deserve…..God is good.
God is so abundant and he promises those that live within his boundaries an abundant life, a peaceful life, one filled with joy…..is it not enough?
