Yesterday was a sweet home-bound day, when the snow continued to fall and give me every reason to stay in my comfy robe and househoes. I love these days when it seems that God gives me a heavenly nudge to slow down and enjoy the stillness as long as I can and do something that isn't so easy on a "have to" day. I know it's absurd of me to think He ordered the day just for me, but I did. I live inside the box of just God and me. We've got a "thing" going on. It's one of the perks of being a widow. I like to think that I'm so special to Him, that He orders up special gifts and treats.....just for me. The Apostle John thought the same thing. Remember how he kept referring to himself as the "one that Jesus loved". Those words are found six times in the Gospel of John. My goodness, that must have ticked off the other disciples, but I like to think that each and every one of us can say that. "I am the one that Jesus loves," because He does. So I like to think He ordered this day just for me, after all, I'm the one Jesus loves. Tomorrow is another day when duty will call, but for this day, it was only doing the "want to's", with just a little "have to's".
While I was basking in His love for me, my "want to's" included writing "Love Letters" to some important people in my life -- to express my love, AND God's love for them. And it felt so good to be in such a peaceful and quiet place where I could truly think about what they meant to me......and then expess those thoughts in a Love Letter. Isn't that the pattern God gave us? He gave us so many Love Letters in the Bible, but each sunrise, each snowflake, each sweet smile and "I love you" from others to us, and even, each morning -- just waking up -- is His love letter to us. He says "I love you. I love you. I love you."
