Enough Is Enough
Christians pray “ Give us this day … ” enough for today .
Jews sing Dayenu , “ It would have been enough .” Just one of God ’ s saving acts — enough .
Muslims remark Alhamdulillah , “ Praise and thanks be to God ,” grateful for simple daily life , Begin and act in His name , they say . “ This will suffice .”
Pause and give thanks for the gift of enough .
In Japan , at mealtimes , hear Itadakimasu “ We receive ,” gratitude woven in , back to the farmer , to everything that made this meal possible .
Pause and give thanks for the gift of enough .
We crave more , even while some know the earth can ’ t support “ more ” without end .
As we age , we need less , acquire less , having collected about us all we need and more of what we want .
Still we buy . Old tech works ; surely new tech is better ? So we buy . But a phone is a phone even when it ’ s not a camera .
Pause and give thanks for the gift of enough .
