For me, "contentment" is somewhat poisoned by years of feeling like it means, "Being happy when I feel sad." Even though I know it doesn't mean that, "enough" feels full, somehow, while "content" still feels like I'm missing something.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220448315369951650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863554872321330259.post-20704778316390742482009-01-05T12:35:00.000-07:002009-01-05T12:35:00.000-07:00Thank you for sharing your poem.

Not that I'm insignificant in God's eyes, but that I wouldn't seek significance in my eyes, or in the world's. <BR/>Maybe content. Content that my writing isn't where I want it to be nor do I have as much time to be with it (although I still make time). Content though I don't know what's going on job-wise or finance-wise. Like you, we've always had our daily bread. Content that God is good and I can trust him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1863554872321330259.post-35697003091359614562009-01-03T13:03:00.000-07:002009-01-03T13:03:00.000-07:00Tammy-His rest is all that matters in the end, isn...Tammy-His rest is all that matters in the end, isn't it? Too bad it isn't easier for us to BELIEVE that.<BR/><BR/>Kirsten-I love that image. Exactly. 2009 is the year to get to know <I>enough</I>.<BR/><BR/>Christianne-Ahh, grace. Yes, close kin if not identical to my enough, I think. As much as I'd prefer to be more than enough, I'm learning the truth of that old quote, "enough is as good as a feast."<BR/><BR/>LL-thanks for your sighs...and your embraces. Treasures, all.<BR/><BR/>And I HAVE thought about joining High Calling Blogs...in some ways, I've never gotten around to it, in others, I'm hesitant and I don't know why.

The line about scrubbing to have stubs instead of fingers is particularly visceral.<BR/><BR/>I think you mean by "enough" what I often mean by "grace." You are indeed enough, my friend.

I am going to bed and going to work..........yes the excitement in my life is staggering. Not just anybody could keep up with this whirlwind pace.<BR/><BR/>The whole time I was reading this blog I kept thinking about that scripture in Hebrews about the promise of entering His rest. (like that is sometimes hard) <BR/><BR/>I think you hit the target there with drawing a line and being content where you are. Somebody said something to me once, it may have been my shrink.......it is good to gave goals, but if they drive you, you never enjoy the present, the process of getting there. I thought that was really sound advice.<BR/><BR/>I am always thinking, if I had "that" i would be happy." And when "that" comes along, there is another "that" driving me. <BR/><BR/>You on the right track Sarah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
