(Dayenu is a Hebrew word meaning “it would have been enough”)
If all He did was invite me to Himself. To new life, freedom, forgiveness, and joy, Dayenu.
If He then ushered me into His community — caring, quirky, and honest — Dayenu.
If He called me, noticed me, gifted me, and honored me with a call to join His reaching work —Dayenu.
If His call to me only involved deep soul preparation, stripping, refining, sharpening, discipline for His purposes, Dayenu.
If He took me to the other side of the globe to further teach me, humble me, and use me to display His glory, Dayenu.
If He blessed our family through displacement, dysfunction, discovery, and delight, Dayenu.
If He gave me voice, words, and reach into the unreached; prayers that penetrate darkness and move away evil, Dayenu.
If He let me see transformation in myself and those I’m serving, overcoming conflict and despair, Dayenu.
If He continued to draw me and my co-laborers to His unfathomable riches, Dayenu.
If His plans take me from this place of sprouting growth, leaving unseen marks and ripples with always more need, Dayenu.
If He invites me to more by leaving, by going back home, by opening the way before us, Dayenu.
