The Gift of Enough
Rev. Terry Hershey
6:00pm Friday, July 26 to 1:30pm Sunday, July 28, 2024
Join Terry Hershey as he invites us to remember, accept, and appreciate the gift of “enough”. There is power in the word, enough – when just our presence in the moment can be a gift to ourselves and others. Then we can recognize and celebrate the sacrament of the present moment, knowing that the ordinary can be the hiding place for the holy. We carry the capacity to honor the present into every encounter and relationship, meaning that we honor the dignity that is reflected by God’s goodness and grace. Every encounter, every relationship, is a place to include, invite mercy, encourage, receive, heal, reconcile, repair, say thank you, pray, celebrate, refuel, and restore. We all need a time and a place that allows us—gives us permission—to pause and embrace the gift of enough, befriend our own heart, and be at home in our own skin. Terry invites us to gather and reflect on the ”enough” in our own lives, let our own light brighten the world a bit & make a difference.
Terry is a renowned author, humorist, engaging inspirational speaker, master storyteller and ordained minister. He divides his time between designing sanctuary gardens and sharing his written or spoken words to help others rest, renew, and live wholehearted. He returns here for what has become a welcome and well-attended annual visit. Terry’s recent books include The Gift of Enough – A Journal for the Present Moment, This is the Life, and Stand Still – Finding Balance When the World Turns Upside Down. Most days, you can find Terry out in his garden in Port Ludlow on the Puget Sound, because he believes there is something fundamentally spiritual about dirt under your fingernails.
