I read this phrase the other day... the author said, "I am no longer in acquisition mode."
I loved the thought. I remember back many years ago when we just had to get more TV sets. One for the basement. One for the bedroom. One for each kid. Now a flat screen. Now a this. Now a that.
I finally stopped wanting TVs. Was it because I grew up? Was it because we finally had enough TV's?
I am not sure, but I recognized back then that I was no longer in acquisition mode. I didn't need anything anymore. Certainly not any more TV's.
Now in my life, when I get the notion that I must have a thing, I try to fight off the feeling. My friend Jerry Alyea used to say, "lay down until the feeling goes away."
We have so much. We don't need anything else. In fact, much of what we have that we are not using could be donated or given to others.
May we all find joy in no longer being in acquisition mode.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
