A Little Bit

Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. Being on a cruise was quite a challenge to practice this one. Yet, I found much satisfaction in having “a little bit.”

Little Bit

Little bit.

A little bit is enough.

On board the French ship, The Jacques Cartier, I sampled delicious food.

The French eat a little bit.  The appetizer fits in a dish that is 2 inches in diameter.

And yet those 3 bites were more than enough. 

The same with the rest of the meal.

I walked away satisfied, not stuffed.

Spiritually, a little bit can be enough. Perhaps a short pause throughout the day to notice God’s presence. When you serve or work and the results of your labor are a little bit, be grateful.

Paul said he learned to be content with little (bit) or much. 

In America, our portions are bigger than in France. I always tell myself to go home and eat like the French. But then I slowly sink into eating a full plate. 

With a bloated stomach, I regret not eating a little bit.

Try a little bit.

A little time with God.

A little meal. 

A little service.

If God is with you, then whether big or small, it is enough.
