love this story on amazon forum
I ordered a number of CDs from a mail order house some years ago but received another set entirely. I contacted the mail order people to bring this to their attention and was greeted with a double apology, one for sending me the wrong order and another because the recipient of mine liked the choices so much he'd decided to keep them. When I stopped laughing, I replied with a list of further listening suggestions for him!

Love all that has been created by God, both the whole and every grain of sand. Love every leaf and every ray of light. Love the beasts and the birds, love the plants, love every separate fragment. If you love each separate fragment, you will understand the mystery of the whole resting in God.

Bob Perks shares the touching story of observing an airport parting between an aging father and his daughter. Apparently it was a final goodbye as the father was dying and the daughter lived too far away to visit again. The father’s last teary words for his daughter were, “I wish you enough.” As the daughter boarded the plane, Bob asked the gentleman about the meaning of the words. He responded:

“That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone. 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.” The older gentleman then shared the following seven wishes from memory:

“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 much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

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

I wish you enough ‘Hello’s’ to get you through the final ‘Goodbye.’”
