We have enough – Time to Give

In America, we’re in the midst of our gratitude feast.  There are so many things to treasure about this Thanksgiving holiday weekend.  As a culture we give thanks for all that we have, pause and focus on our blessings, and hold our loved ones particularly closely.  There is much to admire in the sentiments Thanksgiving celebrates.

On a larger scale, whatever our economic circumstance and with admittedly vast generalization, this weekend demonstrates that we have enough.  Enough to survive, really … enough to thrive.  Our feast meals and our bursts of economic activity demonstrate conclusively that we are unlikely to starve, or freeze, or drown trying to escape horror.

With the enough we have, we have a bit to spare.  Yes, we can dispense those “discretionary funds” for more of whatever we fancy.  Or -- we can send a bit of it to help those who, without our aid, might indeed starve, freeze, or drown.

The Agile Strategist would like to invite your attention to the Migrant Offshore Aid Station or MOAS. www.moas.eu  They are a private search and rescue organization, operating at sea, in the refugee / migrant sea lanes.  They believe, as I do, that no one deserves to drown at sea.  They save lives – rescuing our fellow human beings from foundering boats and rafts.  They work with authorities within their jurisdictions.  They also rescue out at sea far beyond where the coast guards can reach.

So, on this holiday weekend where we celebrate having enough, go to the MOAS website. Learn about them, tell your friends about them on social media, donate some money to them.  You and I have enough.
