Happy Friday! Are you looking forward to the weekend? Do you have some fun things lined up? Or, are you looking forward to rest? Decisions, decisions, decisions. Enjoy the weekend whatever your decision.
Today I wanted to share some thoughts on enough. As an advocate for personal growth and self-development, I don’t want to sound ambiguous. It is okay to improve. However, have you ever rested in “enough”? Reflection on material things and how our culture works, it seems the ads and the work flow are all about more. Ads continually seek to seduce us for the latest and the greatest. More and more seems to be what drives us. The Scripture that comes to mind is: “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” 1 Peter 6:6
How are we going to help the next generation when enough is never enough? How do we teach them to appreciate and enjoy what they have? These questions were on my mind today. I don’t currently have any answers other than to model gratitude and enjoyment. Complaining cannot be an option.
How do we put these things on social media? There is plenty of entertainment and education. How do we showcase daily living with gratitude, contentment, and honoring God? This is the balance. How do you teach satisfaction? The definition of satisfaction is contentment. The world today has so many choices. To some degree, it becomes too much. It is overwhelming.
Be thoughtful, be encouraged, and be blessed.
