The gift, a friend, a child, a grandchild, your spouse, your parent, or a pet. Unconditional love. That is the gift. Sent from God. Who in your life represents God’s heart and love? Who have you shared God’s heart by loving them? Who needs to know that love?
So happy to know God’s unconditional love, His forgiveness, His Son, Jesus my Redeemer and Savior as our example, role model. No one else is the Perfect role model. My Jesus. Your Jesus, too.
At 3:30am I awoke from a deep sleep to a young woman’s whispered words, “Mom… Mom”. I thought for sure my Elisabeth was calling me from the other side of my bedroom door or window. I answered, but no one answered back. Silence. Was I dreaming? I got up to double check the windows and doors, no sign of anyone. Once a mother, always a mother. I hear “mom” called out at the grocery store or city park, and I turn my head like instinct to this name. This awakening was different than that. I returned to my bed, and prayed. Was this one of my daughter’s need for prayer? Our Mother Mary must hear her name called out unceasingly. Be with all my children, my God who saves and protects. “He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children.” Psalm 113:9.
