Dayenu!

Recently, we heard a speaker talk about the Jewish term Dayenu, which basically means, "...it would have been enough..."  As the weeks have gone by and we have thought about this, the impact on our lives has been profound.  For example, recently when Danielle's car was stolen, instead of saying, "Why did this have to happen to us, we can't afford another car."  We said, "Lord, you gave us that car and she was able to drive it for almost two years, that would have been enough or Dayenu!"  With our current circumstances our time with our family is very limited.  When we are with them we could complain that the time is to short, instead we rejoice and say, "Lord thank you for the time you have given us and it is enough or Dayenu!."

As believers this term, Dayenu, is significant because we can say quite literally, "Lord, if you had only provided Calvary,  salvation would have been enough."  And simply put, it is.  Dayenu!
