Pr. 30:8, 9 [The Message]

Give me enough food to live on,
    neither too much nor too little.
If I’m too full, I might get independent,
    saying, ‘God? Who needs him?’
If I’m poor, I might steal
    and dishonor the name of my God.”

How much is enough? How much is too much? It seems that in our society, accumulation of wealth and material items are a worthy goal. I’m not bashing folks who have a comfortable standard of living. At some time, we all ask ourselves the question, “Do I REALLY need this or that?” We can thank God for what He’s blessed us with. Realize that at some point the “stuff” will need to be eliminated. Moderation will reduce the stress of the maintenance “stuff” requires.

When my siblings and I recently dealt with dispensing of Mom and Dad’s stuff, I’m so glad it was a do-able task.
