I subscribe to The Cavalier Chronicle, and I enjoy their weekly homily on Page 7 which I write out and then comment on. This one from their 9/11/24 publication is entitled, ThankFull.
Homily: “Is it good to be alive? To have sufficiency. To be loved and love?”
My response: Yes, it is good to be alive and it is good to love and be loved, and it is desirable that one is filled with thanks.
It seems to be an important Christian tenet that to have sufficiency is to feel and have this quality through God operating in our lives, and that is critically important.
There of course is, additionally, sufficiency, self-sufficiency or self-reliance which is demanded of each individuators to run her own affairs and solve her own problems as much as and as best she can, before laying her burdens at God’s doorstep.
Both kinds of sufficiency are important.
Homily: “We are advised to count our blessings. This week in church, praise God from whom all blessings flow. I am grateful to God. 2 Timothy 1:1-14.”
