How rich are you?

I just read this great article about when enough is enough. It's all about the struggle each of us faces with defining enough in our life. They break it down with two definitions: if we try to define enough in terms of what others have. And if we love money. "He who loves money will never have enough." Ecclesiastes 5:10. This is a great time of year to reflect on what is enough to you. How many Christmas presents do your kids need (how much is enough for them?) Do you base your Christmas list for family on how much you spend for each of them or what they would really enjoy? (How much money is enough to equal a good present given?) I have been struggling with this question as I'm sure most people do. I even told my sister this week I didn't think I had spent enough money on the kids for Christmas and was that bad? She set me straight (thanks Whitney) and then I read this article! Enough ----- I've had enough! I either compare what other people are spending or what they have or what I don't have or or or...but enough already! My goal is to be content with what we have this Christmas season, to enjoy each present given and gotten and to relish in the moment of why we celebrate Christmas. I heard a new friend say that her family donates an equal amount of money to others that they give to their own family. I love that! So I'm being more conscious about giving this year and letting my children know why we are doing it. So, next time you think you don't have much money as your neighbor - check out the website I posted and compare your wealth to the rest of the world. Puts things in perspective!
