ENOUGH

 NOTE-This was written two weeks ago--but after proofing it--I think we still need this reminder.  WHY---CAN'T WE JUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER--EVEN IN OUR DIFFERENCES?  My children are not like me---I did not birth clones of myself---we have our differences--but I can still listen to their opinions and love them --even if I do not agree. NOW on to the original post.

Merriam-Webster tells us the definition of enough is :

in or to a degree or quantity that satisfies or that is sufficient or necessary for satisfaction.

As a mother---I might offer additional definition-

to a degree or quantity that has crossed the line and become too much.

I recently saw a photo while scrolling on line with the word "Enough".  This began the wheels turning.  My first thought was the years my children were young and still at home.  They were experts at provoking me and me announcing 'ENOUGH!"  It could be fighting amongst themselves or arguing with me or rough-housing or taking the roof off the house with loud voices---many and varied activities drove me to announce "ENOUGH!"  It was almost always said in my Mean Momma voice and they knew I meant business.

I then started thinking about the current political environment.  Recently I once again heard the theory espoused that we are going to have a civil war.  When are we going to wake up and realize what a great nation we are blessed to live in?  What is it going to take to agree to disagree?  Are we going to allow this great experiment in democracy to fail?  When we are going to agree--ENOUGH--and concentrate on what we agree upon and not upon where we differ?  What ever happened to majority rule?

For now--I am praying--fervently, honestly---pleading for God to shower us with His grace that we might have His spirit of forgiveness.  PRAY---PRAY FOR AMERICA!

"Everyone on this earth will remember You, Lord.

People all over the world will turn and worship You,

because You are in control,

The Ruler of All Nations."

Psalms 22:27-28
