May mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance.
(Jude 1.2
NRSV)
"I phoned to ask what she thought of the letter. It's lovely, dear, she replied. I have it hanging on the refrigerator for all the neighbors to see.
Any of you know a mother like that--who still sees a thirty year-old-offspring as a child? It's not all that uncommon. At least we know we are loved. The good parent never quits loving--even when we don't deserve it.
Dear God, I give you thanks for those who love me. May I share that great love. In Jesus name, Amen.
