Standing on Holy Ground delivered by Rev. Rose Schwab on November 5, 2017 at SMUUCh

“One who knows that enough is enough will always have enough,” attributed to Lao Tzu (6th century BCE)

“Enough” is a tough topic in our society where want and waste live side by side. With the abundance of technology overwhelming us, with too many choices about stuff, how do we find real abundance – the abundance of meaning, the abundance of satisfaction, the abundance of love? How do we come to learn that we, ourselves, are enough, despite the cultural messages we may receive to the contrary?
