I Wish You Enough

I received this beautiful story from my cousin and wanted to pass it on.
I wish you Enough !
Recently I overheard 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 I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking, ‘Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?’
‘Yes, I have,’ I replied. ’Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?’.
‘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.
‘When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough.’ May I ask what that means?’
He began to smile. ‘That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. 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 me, 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.

He then began to cry and walked away. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them; but then an entire life to forget them.
Congratulations to Maureen from Canada for attracting this weeks jackpot of $55.00. She is a repeat winner of The Lawttery of Attraction.
To all my friends and loved ones, I WISH YOU ENOUGH.

Would You Give Your Last Dollar Away?
Posted By: David on March 31, 2009 at 8:39 PM
I think most people believe they would.
But when we get right down to it. We would make sure we had enough first before giving something away. Right.
I mean it probably is our early reptilian brain at work. Making sure of our survival. It is only natural.
But remember this is just a dream. How do you want your dream to look like?
If we truly believe that God, Source, The Universe will take care of us. Then we should have no attachments to anything.
Whatever is mine is yours.
I know easier said then done.
I recall reading in HOW TO KNOW GOD by Deepak Chopra about a saint who epitomized grace. A Polish mystic, Father Maximilian Kolbe who died under the Nazis at Auschwitz.
You see he gave away most of his meager rations to the other prisoners. He refused a contraband cup of tea because the other inmates had nothing.
Was he looked after. Well to a certain point. He volunteered to take one of the prisoners places. They were locked in an underground vault to die of starvation. When the vault was opened several days later everyone had perished but he. He then was killed by lethal injection.
“When asked how he could endure with such gentleness the treatment he was receiving at the hands of the Nazis, he said only that evil must be met with LOVE.”
Is grace superhuman? Perhaps.
But grace can offer constant support in everyday life. Knowing you are looked after no matter the conditions can be of great service to yourself.
Could I do what Father Maximilian Kolbe did in Auschwitz . Who knows? I definitely know I wouldn’t want to be put in that position.
So where am I going with?
Well something remarkable happened today.
Something that brought tears to my eyes.
An act so unselfish. So courageous. And I am sure one that happens but goes unnoticed everyday throughout the world.
You see our latest winner Donna from the USA also epitomizes grace. Here I will let her explain:
I just wanted you to know how grateful I was to have received an email from you informing me that I had won $70.00. I lost my job some time ago because of the economy and things have been pretty tight. BUT, because of your inspirational work and message, I realized that there is a family that lives a few doors from me with many small children that need that $70.00 more then I do. I promptly took the money to them and they were so thankful. Thank you again and may God Bless you every day! Donna
Donna may God bless you. And may your generosity be returned to you 100 fold.
I love how this website is producing so many wonderful stories.
The ripples are getting bigger. People are taking notice. And you should all be congratulated for remembering that we are all one.
