Our friend, Mr. Webster, defines "enough" as "as much or as many as required".
Here lately I've considered what is enough and what is not enough in certain areas of my life. I'm still considering that as there are areas that I certainly seek the correct improvements. I guess we all do to a certain point.
I had an experience yesterday when I was unable to find something that was REALLY important that I needed in a very timely manner. I called all the different places that would possible have this and no one did. Then I thought of one more place that I knew well and had dealings with and called that as a last resort. I left a message as to my dilemma and got a callback that yes, they could help. I just had to come and pick up. I explained that I only needed one or two of this item to get me to the point I needed to be. I drove there and they had a bag ready for me. I could tell the provision in the bag was more than the one or two items I had requested. When I explained I only needed a small amount, I was waved away kindly with the whole bag. It solved my problem and gave me extra.
I have been struggling a bit the last few days and seeking the Lord's guidance for things in my life. I thought about yesterday's experience this morning and had a heart full of thanks for those who are kind and so caring. Their actions speak more than enough and extra.
As this blogger often winds up leading to, this experience has encouraged me and I in turn am going to encourage you that we an be more than enough and extra with our actions, with our thoughts, with our kindnesses and with our love. I'm not going to tell you that doing this will be easy. We are so so so human. But I will testify to you for myself as I'm the only one I know about for sure, that I have a heavenly Father who will help me with this when I feel like I am not enough. I would encourage you to know that blessings are more than enough. And extra!
Consider.....
always here to help :) made me tear up as well. AE
