Do we ever get enough?

I need to get back into this blogging thing and decided the fresh New Year was as good a time as any so here goes. I had something to try to write about back in Sept. but never got the words from my mind onto paper (or to the computer) back then. The thoughts are still there so this is the little idea that I wanted to blog about then: Do we ever get enough? You know - enough of life, enough hugs, visiting, enjoyment, pleasures, good times, hours in a day, money, time. This thought came to me after having to ‘say goodbye’ to my daughter at the airport. She was heading back to Russia for another year and had only been in the States for a short month. Her visit home was jam-packed with travel, speaking engagements, business appointments and not much time for rest. I had counted up the nights she got to sleep in her own bed and it was only a handful. Needless to say I wasn’t ready to ‘let her go’ again. I didn’t get enough of her! I was feeling really sorry for myself on the drive home when the song by Jeremy Camp came on the radio – “There Will Be A Day”. There will be a day when there’s no more tears, no more pain, no more fears...when the burden of this life will be no more...That’s when the answer came to me. No, we will never get enough during this life, but Oh the hope of what is awaiting Jesus’ followers! What we have here & now cannot even begin to be compared to what heaven holds. Jesus is more than enough! What a promise, what a peace, to rest in Him.
