Well, the kids are here. The house is full of “guests”, family and today all of the local family will be coming in also. Bedtime didn’t happen until 1:45 am, but who cares about that? We are all together and that is what makes grandpa and grandma very happy!

There will be no counseling appointments this week with all of the family here. As I was praying over the prayer list, I couldn’t help but sense Christ’s arms of grace surrounding each one. The names of those hurting and coming for help are embraced with Christ’s loving arms. I pray they will know this and sense it like they never have before. It is such a marvelous act of love, God literally sending Himself to us through the life of Christ and offering to us His Own Spirit to dwell in us if we will only ask Christ into our lives while we are in our flesh.

This LOVE of God is simply beyond our ability to comprehend. Yet, I can only be humbly grateful for it. God wants us with Him and He has gone to this extent to show us just how genuine this love is!
