Is it Enough?

"I am guilty of using the phrase, “It’s not enough”, all too often in my life.  There’s not enough money.  There is not enough time.  There’s not enough to _______________ (you fill in the blank).  We seem to have the mentality that we need an over-abundance of something in order to make it worth our while.  When in reality, we need ‘just enough’ to serve our needs."

Instead of looking at what you have and thinking it is never enough, maybe it's time to take another look around and see that what you have is enough - and in some cases, more than we can handle. 

One thing I’ve learned in life is that God always provides us just ‘enough’.  We may not have excess, but we have what we need, when we need it.  Sometimes that comes in material goods, like more tomatoes than we can handle in a single day or in scrap metal and a few tools to make a part.  On occasion, He sends us a little extra income, that is just enough to do what we need to do. Sometimes the ‘enough’ comes in the package of knowledge and creativity to be able to make what we need.  

And sometimes, ‘enough’ comes wrapped in the package of a friend who has what we need, like Danny and his tractor, or Kathleen and peaches. Enough also comes from friends who offers words of encouragement, giving us the faith in ourselves we need – or helping hands to get us over the latest hurdle.

We may not have a lot, but we always have ‘enough’.  And I thank God for providing that enough –whether it’s in a few tomatoes, a small bag of peaches, or the friends He has put in our paths to give us courage and determination.
