learning…

There’s no hidden gem; the word means enough. So 
when st. paul scripted god’s grace as
sufficient he wasn’t dangling the carrot of
immeasurably
exceeding
abundance
we drool over but rather showing what skin was
left on his teeth, a grin of bitter mercy.
As I told her goodnight she gave me a quick peck on
the cheek as teenage daughters are prone to do.
Enough.
The upcoming trip to be with friends will be short-lived.
Sufficient.
Yesterday three doves, each at different times, sat the
fencepost just long enough for me to notice and so press on.
Then again maybe it was the same dove.
Amazing.

    When I see the text from my beloved which says, “Landed.”. Thank you, John. The daily bread is enough.

    Just a simple YES John. Interesting how over-consuming grace minimizes the just enough.
