You’ve been searching for your lists, and for your Master List which can help you find all your various lists. Most of them, title or not, are Things To Do. And OH!... how you wish you just be LISTLESS for even a few minutes or a whole hour.

You’ve been doing, it seems, endless loads of laundry the past few days (years), searching for anything that is not yet washed, rinsed, folded, and "returned to sender." ... and then your 3 soccer players come through the door... You could purchase and use the new, improved "Perpetual Motion" washing machine, but it still would never be enough...

You’ve been taking children lo here and lo there all day every day, imitating taxi drivers you’ve met in your life, chatting and trying to strike a pleasant "note" (feeling, perhaps, that you’re tone deaf and there aren’t any notes left in the small-to-begin-with musical part of your brain).

You’ve kicked the dust off and out in seemingly never-ending cycles, occasionally first writing yourself a positive note ("you look terrific today!") ("has anyone ever told you you look like __________" ... fill in the blank with someone you admire not just because of their outward appearance).

You’ve fixed meals and lunches and snacks and picnics for yourself and everyone else over and over and over again... do you think in "your world" you’re going to have a meal last longer (inside the person)? That is, if we do eat Over There.

You’ve worked on your Relief Society or Sunday School or Young Women or Primary lessons for half your life (it seems), and yet you never feel completely prepared. It’s never quite enough. You wonder how often you’ve ever really taught anyone.

You’ve done your best to read from The Book of Mormon or other scriptures every day of your life, but you’ve missed an accumulation of about 93 months’ worth in the total number of years you’ve been on the earth...

STOP! (That’s YOU shouting at MEE, not the other way around, although I was sorely tempted....)

Let’s look at Doctrine and Covenants 104:17, that first little part. "For the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare...." IF you have time, read verses 11 through 18, which will put this beautiful phrase in context.

For now, just consider this message from the Lord: "the earth is FULL, and there is ENOUGH and to SPARE."

What if this means more than just olives, figs, whales, locusts, rhubarb and oi?

What if it also means minutes, hugs, pennies, energy, hope, forgiveness, grace, compassion, understanding, longsuffering, charity . . .

What if it means you not only HAVE enough, but you ARE enough. Yes: YOU!

You, even as you’re "buried" by your dust and your lists and your lack of sleep.

You, with so much on your mind and in your heart which brings tears ... sometimes of joy, sometimes of grief, sometimes of "HELP!... PLEASE HELP!"

I write a little note this morning to tell you that They (Who are in Heaven) KNOW ... They are AWARE. They are deeply interested in YOU. And if you’ll give Them some space, They’ll come and help (yes, even with laundry). Not like friends and neighbors (and even family members?) do... it may be that They’ll shoot a little energy into you with Their sweet magic (actually called miracles). Something like that.

Let Them. Please. You ARE enough if you’re with Them. More than enough when you let Them help.
