Christmas Gifts Are Sufficing

Christmas gifts seem to be sufficing,
Some have been great and enticing,
Compared to rest,
Do like the best,
My husband's cookies with his icing.

For all I know, I know nothing
Who can say when enough is sufficing.

No way to verify what searches reap
To winnow out truths from junk pile heap.

Garbage tower to heaven meant
Like babel feeds bewilderment....

Grace*

God’s blessings...

…empowering, nurturing, sufficing;

Thankful, appreciative, joyous, worshipful

Grants!

*1Corinthians 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Heart*

grateful

rejoices

with contentment

for God’s bounteous grace

sufficing needs

worth sharing 

midst hope’s 

bliss.

Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

Listen to poem:

Enough I have, 
but more, would make do, better still.
Sufficing without icing is a nice thing to do,
but ample sufficiency is defeat, a condescending deceit.
For we all want bigger apportioned portions.
Want more than our fair share of the hearty fare.
Making do is so hard to do, but so easy to see through....

rain flows from heaven

sufficing all barren fields

creation lives on.

*1Kings 17:14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
