attitude and abundance

Last Sunday was our congregational potluck. It was an extraordinary Sunday meal--a table loaded down with food, plenty for everyone to have a course and seconds. By the time we were done, each of us was stuffed and satisfied.
My mind wandered back to other potlucks in the life of our congregation, not so abundant. Times when we had to run to the store at the last minute to fill in the gaps in our sparse buffet. I realized in that moment that something had changed. Our congregation is beginning to act like a congregation of abundance instead of scarcity. An attitude shift has begun, God will supply our needs brimming up and overflowing beyond what we can even imagine. When we live with an attitude of abundance, satisfaction is guaranteed.
