What is Enough?
When is enough, enough?
When we eat ice-cream?
When we play solitaire?
When we run a marathon?
Yesterday was Valentines Day and at 7 AM I was sitting in a doctor’s office with my sister-in-law for her appointment following cataract surgery. I saw a steady stream of grey-haired, one-eyed pirates accompanied by their grey-haired sleepy drivers.
At 8 AM I was in the local big box store with scores of men and women, young and old, looking for the right amount of flowers in the right colors and with the right price tag. It seemed to me that age correlated with size. One young women had a teddy bear with a big red heart that filled her entire grocery cart.
When we love someone, do we ever ask if it’s enough? Did Jesus Christ ever ask himself that question?
