Is it enough?

Is it enough? What anxiety this question can bring. Is it enough? Trying to prepare a Thanksgiving feast for 4 is do-able, even when it is up to 6, there is not much difference but when this simple celebration goes over 10 to 12. You think, lets just go out and not cook at all and then something gets you. How could you be so selfish, how could you not provide for these friends that God has so lovingly placed in your life and in your husband's life? How could you even think of denying them a place at your table?

My table is God's table and whoever he shall place there will be welcomed, cherished and loved. It will be enough. For soldiers needing to escape the small barracks room it will be the break their weary souls crave. For I am standing in for their parents, wives and children back home. My home is the comforting place they have been placed. It has become so clear why we have been blessed with a large home, it is large enough to welcome all of them.

It will be enough that is is Stove Top stuffing nowhere close to homemade and macaroni and cheese from a blue box will be enough to remind us of our childhood. It will be enough that God has entrusted to me and my husband the care of his people on this day, his day and we shall be giving him thanks. That is enough for him and it will be enough for me.
