Would you rather have more, or gratitude?

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.”

Anonymous

George Müller, a Christian missionary in the 1800s, devoted his life to caring for orphans without asking for money. He relied entirely on faith and gratitude. Time and again, when there was no food or resources, help would come. Somehow, meals appeared, and needs were met. Müller’s approach wasn’t about chasing abundance; it was about recognizing that even in moments of scarcity, gratitude could turn what he had into more than enough.

Life isn’t about accumulating more. It’s about pausing to reflect on what’s already in front of you. How often do we look past the most valuable things—relationships, moments of joy, time—because we’re too focused on the next thing? The true sense of “enough” comes from appreciating these things, not chasing what’s missing.

Today, take a moment to reflect. What are three things you’re thankful for that cost you nothing? Then, consider this: what can you do for someone else that would show them they already have “enough”?
