I WISH YOU ENOUGH

Picture This...a Father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure.

Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Father said, 'I love you, and I wish you enough.'

The daughter replied, 'Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Dad.'

They kissed and the daughter left. The Father walked over to the window where you are seated. You could see he wanted and needed to cry.  You cared...you could not avoid asking, "How can I help?"

'I am old, and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral,' he said.

You care...you ask..."What was that you said to each other at you parted?"

He began to smile. 'My parents used to say it to everyone...' He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled even more. 'When we said, 'I wish you enough,' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.' Then turning toward you, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
 
TAKE TIME TO LIVE....

To all my friends and loved ones,

I WISH YOU ENOUGH.

Just received a call from Vicki asking us to all please pray for her sister Margaret - Vicki feels her time is close - she has not been responding for a few days but has a very strong heart - she asked that we pray that our Lord be kind and merciful..... thank you. 

My prayer for Margaret...
The Lord is Kind

The Lord is Merciful

The Lord's heart is strongest of all...

May Margaret hear His call and feel the strength of His Loving Hand.

Prayers for our friend in India, Mrs. Rajashree Mahadhir

Dear Rick & Erin,

 

I have a request to include a friend & his wife's name in your next prayer club meeting.  

 

Mrs. Rajashree Mahadhir, wife of Mr. Prashanth Mahadhir residing in Haridwar, India is suddenly diagnosed with Brain Tumor.  I was told that Mrs. Rajashree already went through one surgery and awaiting for a second one.  I request you to kindly include Mrs. Rajashree's speedy recovery to normalcy again.   

 

I am not known to Prashanth and his family directly, but he heard about the case of (our another family friend) Mrs. Kokila Ganesan, who has fully recovered from Leukaemia.  Earlier your Prayer Club prayed for the well being of Mrs. Kokila Ganesan.   

 

Let us pray for the fullest recovery of Mrs. Rajashree Mahadhir from her sudden sickness. 

 

Best Regards,

Ven Venkatesan

NOTE to Ven...I will pray my hour in perpetual Eucharistic Adoration this week for Mrs. Rajashree Mahadhir.
 

MATT 5:44 A great prayer

Heavenly  Father, Help us remember that the jerk who cut  us off in
traffic last night is a single mother  who worked nine hours that day
and is rushing  home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the  laundry
and spend a few precious moments with  her children and/or
grandchildren.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man
who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college
student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of
not getting his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the
same spot every day is a slave to addictions that we can only imagine in
our worst nightmares.

Help  us to remember that the old couple walking  annoyingly slow
through the store aisles and  blocking our shopping progress are
savoring this moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got
back last week, this will be the last year that they go shopping
together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us,
the greatest gift is love.  It is not enough to share that love with
those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those who are close to
us, but to all humanity.  Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive,
show patience, empathy and love. Matt 5:44

Working for God on earth doesn't pay much.  But His retirement plan is
out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!!
