ENOUGHNESS

Pam Weinreis • Dec 29, 2019

I was getting ready for the Christmas program at our church the other Sunday.


Such a busy but fun time of year. There are weeks of program practice, there are decorating the stage and recreating the nativity scene.


As I was sifting through my American, walk-in- closet in hopes of finding the “right” outfit to wear, all the while thinking I have nothing to wear.


I reluctantly choose and head off to church.

There is a 45 minute commute to our local town. As I drive along, I am struck with this thought…


Too Much… I have so much, too many clothes, too much to do, too many people to see before Christmas.


Too much…. my schedule feels like too much.


As I sat in the pew that cold Sunday morning blessed by the toddlers singing, “Away in the Manger.”

I see the nativity.


I listen to teens reading the Scriptures announcing the birth of our Lord and Savior.


Luke 2:1-20

I was overwhelmed by the enoughness of our Almighty God.

I am overwhelmed by

the enoughness of our God Almighty.

For God so loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, for whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16


2 Corinthians 12:9


My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in your weakness.


In our busy. In our rushed … God is enough.


We somehow think we need more.


More money, more room, more time.


Yet God is very clear in His Word, we are to be content in any situation, whether hungry or full, plenty or want.


Philippians 4:11-13


The ache for the want of more leaves your life dry and empty.


Let the enoughness of our Lord and Savior be just enough this New Year.


Until next time, Pam

Nearly one out of three older Americans are lonely, according to a recent study. The study revealed that the biggest shift in loneliness rose among the younger generations. Loneliness is distress caused by a lack of satisfactory relationships, not just being alone.

Life That is Truly Life Is our society consumer based? Did you know that only a century ago 90 percent of Americans were farmers? Life was hard, but simpler too. They mostly lived off the land and traded with neighbors whatever else they needed. Money was rarely used. And most of the things they owned fell into the category of needs, not wants. Today only 2 percent of Americans work agriculture. The last century has radically reshaped the American economy. People moved to cities for jobs, where goods were produced. After the wars, politicians and businessmen worked hard to remake the American economy. It was said their goal was to get the simple farmers children to spend their time and money buying up the latest thing. To grow a generation of consumers.

Have you ever considered "boredom" as good for you? Is boredom good for your kids? Do you remember a time when instant access to the internet, YouTube, tic-toc, and/or snapchat wasn't an immediate go to? How about this, waiting at the railroad tracks, waiting in traffic, sitting in a movie theater before the show with nothing for your mind to do but wander, listen, visit or just be quiet?

It is the month set aside for thanks. I am struggling, and I still get turned around. Is my dwelling on the past or fretting over the future keeping me from the present? Is my anxiousness masked by anger? Do I discount this moment?

Are we a people, "distracted from distractions?"

The warmth of the sunshine does something for our souls. It seems to lift the spirit. Signs of spring are slowly showing up. The Little Missouri River’s running out of its banks. Baby calves scatter the hillsides. Green grass begs to grow. Just days before the Holy Week, our eighth grandchild is born.

Most of the world’s discussion about peace today centers around the absence of wars between nations. We are past the anniversary of the Ukraine war; this world does not seem peaceful. But the Bible focuses on a different kind of peace. A personal peace that is not dependent on what is happening around us.

The days before the eve of our Christ child’s birthday, the wind blizzards across much of the United States, canceling 1000’s flights and displacing millions of hopeful people anticipating Christmas. As water pipes freeze, furnaces are maxed with wind chills of -55*, and herds of cattle crowd together, seeking relief.
