Well, it's Friday again and I get to play along the The Gypsy Mama for Five Minute Friday. I write five minutes, unedited, on the topic. Here goes:
I've spent most of my life with too
much: too much food, too many clothes, too many things. One
of the things I remember most about my grandparents is how much they
managed to do with what little they had. I'm beginning to realize
that one of my biggest problems is that I have too much, and no place
to put it.
God promised he would supply my needs,
but I insist upon fulfilling my wants, too. Funny thing is: I don't
want as much as I used to. I'm tired of the things;
they weary me. I'm ready to be satisfied with enough.
That
means having to purge the “too much” to pare down to enough.
I thought it would be tiring, but it's actually energizing.
So,
here I go, Lord, trusting you to supply enough
and asking for your help the break the “want” addiction. With
You, nothing is impossible.
