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?

“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast…” Hebrews 6:19a

Happy Father’s Day to the most gentle, selfless, and devoted dad. 🫶🏻
Each of our children adore you—not just for your warmth and tenderness, but for the quiet strength you lead with every single day. You lead our family by serving, never shying away from the hard or messy moments. When I feel overwhelmed, you step in without hesitation, without complaint—always giving, always present.
We are beyond blessed to call you ours. You are a beautiful reflection of our Heavenly Father, and your love is a gift we never take for granted. 💛

Baby Paine, you are already so loved! 😍 We cannot wait to hold you in our arms!

I love you. Happy birthday, sweetheart. ❤️
I am so thankful for you; words cannot describe it.
You are so special—a light in a dark place, a rose in a thorny patch, a sun beam on a rainy day, a fresh breeze in summer`s heat, a warm hug on a cold day, a wonderful person in a weary world.
People who know you, both near and far, are better because of you. You choose others over self, giving instead of taking, caring instead of callousness, love over selfishness, truth over lies.
I love you, Erin, and I love EVERYTHING about you.
You make the world a better place.
You make ME a better person.
happy birthday to my BEST friend.

Love always, forever, Chad...your fella 🥰😘
