I was caught off guard when my 5-year-old looked up at me and said, “Dad, we are so rich, aren’t we?”
My mind immediately began to race — thinking of all the things we don’t have that the world might use to define “rich.” In that moment, I leaned down and asked her, “Why do you say that?”
Without hesitation, she said, “Because we have lots of food, we have so many clothes, and we have this house to live in!”
Her words stopped me. But those are just the basics,” I thought...but then God gently convicted my heart. My little girl was absolutely right — and I was so wrong.
She didn’t measure our lives by the standards of the world. She was simply grateful for what we had. In her gratitude, I was reminded of how rich we truly are.
Scripture echoes her wisdom:
“And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” — 1 Timothy 6:8
In that moment, God used a 5-year-old to teach me a profound lesson about contentment. Instead of focusing on what we had or didn’t have, my heart should be fixed on the Giver of every good thing. I have Jesus, what more do I need?
As Paul writes:
“Godliness with contentment is great gain.” — 1 Timothy 6:6
This week, I’m taking the time to write down the blessings I’ve been overlooking. I’m making a list of what I’m grateful for — not just the big things, but the “basics” that are truly treasures. I invite you to join me. Grab a pen and paper and begin listing the blessings around you.
When we pause to see clearly, we realize we are so very rich.
Be Encouraged,
Chad

When you know who holds the world in His hand, you can be confident He is going to take care of you.
He cares.
He loves beyond our imagination.

I’ve often been told by a very wise man—my father—not to ask, “Is this good?” but instead, “Is this best?”
Over the years, I’ve come to understand the profound wisdom behind that question. It’s easy to justify decisions by labeling them as “good.” But if we stop there, we may fall short of the best God desires.
One of my favorite spiritually minded writers, Oswald Chambers, expressed this truth clearly:
“The great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.”
There are countless “good” things constantly vying for our time, energy, and attention. But the life of faith doesn’t merely involve choosing between good and evil—it often requires choosing between what is good and what is best.
So how do we know what is best?

Happy 30th birthday to my little sister and forever best friend 🎉🤍
From loving babies and soaking up the gift of being stay-at-home wives, laughing until we cry, and researching healthy recipes - some yummy and some horrible! 😅 You make life richer and lighter all at once ❤️
And I love that no matter how chaotic life gets, we still try to FaceTime during the week… even when little voices, sticky fingers, and tiny faces insist on joining every call! 😂

You love the Lord so deeply, and you challenge me to walk closer with Him just by the way you live. I’m so grateful for your wisdom, your humor, and your constant encouragement.
Thirty looks so good on you, and I can’t wait to see all God has ahead for you. I love you SO MUCH! 💛

This year changed me. Facing how fragile life really is made me hold my family a little tighter. These seven sweet souls and the man I love… they’re my everything. And this Thanksgiving, my heart is overflowing with thankfulness to God for the chance to keep loving them.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Paine Family! 🤍
