"i Wish You Enough"
Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last Moments
together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged
and the mother said,"I love you and I wish you enough."
The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough.
Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom."
They kissed and the daughter left.
The mother walked over to the windowwhere I sat.
Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she 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 aforever 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," she said.
When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough."
MayI ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other
generations. My parents used to say it to everyone."
She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail
and she smiled evenmore.
"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, she shared the following, reciting it frommemory.
I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear muchbigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough helloes to get you through the final good-bye.
She then began to cry and walked away.
May we learn to appreciate all people and things God has given to us.
Personally in the past someone told me before, " i wish you Jesus."
hm, i asked: "what does this means?"
Reply came," Because with Jesus, its EVERYTHING! so i wish you Jesus to bless you everyting."
i wish you Jesus.
