I Pray You Enough

[wheels]

Hi:
I received this. Although I have read It many times, It's always
worth rereading. It truly Is worth reading as well as remembering.
The story Is below.

ENOUGH:

Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in
their last moments together at the airport. They had
announced the departure. Standing near the security gate,
they hugged, and the mother said, 'I love you, and I
pray you enough..'

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

They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over
to the window where I was seated.. 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 a forever good-bye?'

'Well...I'm not as young as I once was, she lives
so far away & has her own busy life. I have some
challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back
will be for my funeral,' she said.

'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I
pray you enough.' May I ask what that means?'

She began to smile. 'That's a prayer 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 even more.
'When we said, 'I pray you enough,' we wanted
the other person to have a life filled with just enough good
things to sustain them.'

Then, turning toward
me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it
from memory.

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

I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even
more.

I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and
everlasting.

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

I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you
possess.

I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final
good-bye.

Then, she 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 an entire
life to forget them.

* Only if you pray, send this to the
people you will never forget, and remember to send it back
to
the person who sent it to you. If you don't send it to
anyone, it may mean that you are in such a hurry that you
have forgotten your friends.

TAKE TIME TO LIVE.....

To all my friends and loved ones,
I PRAY YOU ENOUGH........


Be Kind To One Another and Take Care of Each Other
