Good Enough
No Reason Whatsoever
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23
Good Enough, 110-116 Luke 12:22-28
Why do people even try to offer comfort by telling us, “DON’T WORRY!”? The trick to not worrying is... well if I knew that I’d be rich. What’s your usual approach to life when it gets overwhelming?
One of Kate’s tricks for combating feeling overwhelmed is to do something for no reason whatsoever. Just for fun, give yourself a short time limit, and race to see how many ridiculously absurdly fun things you can think of to do for no reason! Pick one and try it today. How does it make you feel?
God, come into those places that are too heavy, that feel truly overwhelming. Lift them away for a while, so that I might turn my gaze to the loveliness of the lily, the feathered texture and color of bird wings. And give me the courage to play once in a while, like the little kid I once was, and who is still in there somewhere.
Amen.
