Relish Blessings... Little by Little
When they were younger, I used to bombard my kids with toys, DVDs, books, games, and activities. Later, I learned how important it is to drip-feed them such resources so that they are ready to fully take advantage of them. Although they were happy to see so many surprises in the past, they are more content now that they can use them properly.
When most people think of having a good life, they almost always think about having a lot of wealth. Like a hungry man invited to a luxurious feast, they might throw themselves rapaciously at the delicacies, confused and excited about what to devour first.
Yet, food is most enjoyable when one has earned it lawfully by oneself, even if it is simple fare. Taking time to eat deliberately with loved ones and enlightening conversation enhances the experience. Being thankful by remembering the blessings of The Provider fills the heart with satisfaction. Praise be to God.
Wealth, like food, is best enjoyed little by little when it is meaningful.
