There is a book called THE MORE WITH LESS COOKBOOK. It was written by Mennonites. Many people, where the recipes advise, Feeds six would not believe the scant amount of food that would fit this description.
In short, most Americans would make poor Mennonites who in their eating habits are, as they are in many other things, simplistic and disciplined.
However, it is well to realize that the point of this illustration is not really about food portions but about attitude and lifestyle. Mennonites are happier with having less.
Many if not most Americans feel they are happier with more.
And, of course, this leads ultimately to the question… where else in the process of living do we demand more in order to be happy? And I am asking you to ask yourself, “What does it take to make me satisfied?”
Have you ever stopped to think that a rummage sale is really a sermon on dissatisfaction?
A getting rid of items that not long ago you felt you simply had to have or you would just die. Now bought by someone else who feels that now they absolutely must possess what you no longer want.
Give a prayer of thanks for whatever blessings you experienced this day that did not cost you a cent. Take the time to figure out what they were.
