“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; July 22, 2008

          Is being “good enough”, good enough? 

          Often when we consider the value of something, we approach it with a mind toward asking if it is functional.  Whether it’s a knife, a car or our approach to our job, we often assess success by functionality.  Is it good enough to get by?

          While the world often rewards mediocrity, there is something better out there.  Most of us are capable of being functional; but, are we good?  Most of us can get by with little effort; but, do we have the desire to excel?  Whether it’s in being a parent, living a Christian life, serving others or producing a work product, being “good enough” isn’t found in doing the bare minimum; it’s had in being the best we can be.

          Are we trying our best?  Are we striving to grow each and every day?  Merely being “good enough” doesn’t just impact those around us, it also robs “the best we can be” from us.

          So, are we really okay with good enough?

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
