I've been trying to nap but my mind just won't quite shut down. I've been trying to figure out a feeling. Friday when the carolers came I said that I felt very humbled but why? Part of it was being on the receiving end when so much of my life it's been about giving. But what I realized today was the feeling that it was God reaching down and saying how much He cared, giving us a special gift of His love, His gentle embrace--THAT is humbling. The ones who came are the ones who said "yes" to His calling never knowing how much it would mean to those who would receive.
OK, now that I've written it maybe I can get some quiet brain time. Whoops, Tom wants to play some cribbage. He beat me last night. I'll see if I can do better today.

Let the Lord continue to give you gifts as you have given so much to so many. Rest in His love!!
ReplyDeleteA favorite memory is when we went sailing and Tom was to start the barbecue on the first night and the grill went in the water!! We laughed and had such a great week together.
Hugs and love, Esther
