Embracing “enough” leaves space for the infinite. When we don’t fill our hearts with everything around us, we create that room for God to do what he needs to do within us. It’s the difference between grasping and having a disposition of being able to readily receive. Love this reflection—it will stay with me, I’m sure. 💕
Love it! It is very easy to get caught up in the “more is better” perspective, because being “content” with what we have is counter cultural. But once again, we are called to swim against the tide and so we must!
I am seeking grace in simplicity and trying to be content with “enough” as well. I’m always seeking more information, more solutions, more clarity. Sometimes sitting in the silence and embracing simple things is enough.
What a beautiful reflection on contentment and God's provision! The reminder that embracing "enough" creates space for the Lord to work in us is so powerful. This week's Gospel passage about Jesus calling us to follow Him resonates deeply with this theme—when we trust that what we have is sufficient, we're free to respond to His call with open hearts. Thank you for these thoughtful discussion questions!
Thank you for this reminder. I am learning about “enough” the hard way as I got overwhelmed chasing the next thing. Learning to come to acceptance and trust. Praying for wisdom in the eveyday
What a calming theme for your 2026, Danielle! I love how you listened to your internal voice and can feel the wisdom and peace in it. ...It's funny, my internal voice is keeping me grounded in 'joy'. Joy at all times, whether it is a joyful moment or a moment to look for joy. Sitting in the thought of joy at all times is bringing me so much peace this year ... and we are only 19 days in. :)
