What we have is enough

I don't know about you, but, I have had those moments when I stood in front of a refrigerator or a pantry full of food and thought, "We have nothing to eat." Or, when I have stood in front of my overstuffed closet and thought, "Man, I don't have anything to wear." Maybe it is just me, but, it has happened.

Obviously, from my description about the refrigerator, the pantry, or the closet, none of my thoughts were true or accurate. We have plenty to eat - plenty. Sometimes, it may not be exactly what you were looking for but, if you are truly hungry, there is stuff to eat. While it may not be the latest fashion, my closet is FULL of clothes. It really all comes down to realizing you have enough.

Today's word is just a thought, a saying, that I think about as we approach Thanksgiving, and that I try to remember ever day: "Gratitude will turn what you have into ENOUGH."

When we find ourselves truly thankful for all the blessings that we already have, we begin to realize how truly blessed we really are. We live in the greatest country in the world. Does it have its problems? OH YES. But, it is still the greatest country in the world. We have access to great medical care, great food supplies, great churches, and the freedom to worship JESUS CHRIST. It is truly the greatest country.

Then, if you are like me, you have a closet full of clothes and a refrigerator and pantry full of food. When I think of how much I have been blessed, I can't help but be grateful and thankful. Is it because I deserve it? No, it is just because GOD poured it out on me. I truly believe when we start being grateful for what we do have and stop wanting more, we will realize that what we have is enough.

Be Blessed,
