Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
We have had babies
and even after a crappy day
of poop and wailing and baby snot
crept in on them sleeping
and gushed with love.
We have received bad crayon drawings
and put them on the fridge
and kept them for years.
We have stood by imperfect friends
imperfectly, accepting the endearing flaws,
for the sake of the love we love.
So why is it so hard for us
to trust the heavenly voice
of perfect, unselfish love
that never wavers, never varies?
“You are my Beloved.
In you is my delight.”
All those little things?
Seriously, just baby snot.
Nothing changes that delight.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
