I am especially struck by the idea of the balance in life that comes when I know (and remember) the total, encompassing love of God for me. I can identify with that sense of balance that brings joy. I want to live out of that place. Thanks for highlighting this Advent truth. Thanks, Lynn.

They know I care for them. I am encouraged to recognize that I can be disappointed and irritated with their behavior as a part of that love and that they can experience the happiness of a smile and a high five when things are resolved.
