Wendy–> I was so delighted when my friend sent the photo because it brought back a thousand memories of that classroom. And thank you Wendy for your comment. I’m pretty much of the opinion that any words, no matter how eloquent or fumbled, that speak of God’s love are as you said, magnificently precious!

From time to time I will encounter something that helps shorten the distance of truth finding its way from my head to my heart. This did it for me today! I’ll come back to it later and it will do it again! So thankful.

Janet–> How wonderful of you to add a comment old friend, and by old friend I mean a friend of many years, not an OLD friend although at this point that shoe could easily fit both our feet. So we all blunder our way along and sometimes those we love the most are the ones we bump into the hardest but as you said, there was forgiveness and even in whatever was said or done, there was still the love of a mom and a son in the mix. Mother-Son relationships…the bread and butter of many a therapist! And Janet, there’s more than a wink in store for you though like you I would be more than happy with a wink from such an incredible God. Nope, there will be embraces and high fives all around; not in response to our labor or works but in response to the gift of grace through Christ. All that we do, whatever good may be found it in earns us nothing other than the privilege of giving back to the One who has already given us everything. And the love and gratitude for your friendship of about what, thirty plus years (?) is returned back to you. Oh and Janet, please “know that you know”, at least for today because it’s true. Would I lie?

You are so blessed. I have “known” the LORD for 40 years now and “know that I know” He loves me but it’s nothing like what you are describing. i wish. Your words were especially sweet for me today because yesterday I behaved so b______g with my precious son. So embarrassing. Thankfully Max and I were able to talk and ask forgiveness of one another etc. but “it” had to be damaging. Bless his heart, soul, and mind. I pray he is able to afford his therapy. Also, I have always thought I didn’t deserve a full “Well done thy good and faithful servant.” I’ll have JOY for eternity with just a knowing wink from Him. I love you, friend and am grateful for your relationship with Him and me. jm

Cristi–> You never have been, never will be, and are not now unlovable. I know the feeling but go with the truth instead, okay?

You did it again! Where did you hide those kleenex?? I soooo needed to hear that tonight. Thank you for reminding me that God loves me. I’ve been feeling quite unlovable lately.
