Today was the fourth Sunday in Advent and we lit the pink candle of Love.
Love.
I don't believe it means a "mushy-gushy-feeling". I think this love is the love that comes from the Father...the Creator, for his creation. He loved that much that he brought us a savior in the midst of our misery, in the midst of our trying to get more and be better than anyone else and attempting to look better than we really are...kind of savior. A Savior who would know us better than we know ourselves. A Savior who would come into humanity and offer himself for us.
I don't know of any other kind of love that true and selfless.
Today we worshiped and adored the Savior of the world. We sang carols about waiting and expecting and longing for his coming and about how his perfect love would save mankind from their sins and their desire to do things their own way instead of HIS way.
It is good to sit and think on that.

Well Frank Sinatra did it his way as well!
We don't think of what Jesus and God have done for us enough. Sure we know, but we don't often take the time out of our busy lives to think and say a bit of thanks for that. We need to get back into doing that more often. I need to do it more often.
Hey Chris, you caught the nuance of "old blue eyes". Good on ya.
It is good to think on these things moment by moment as we go on in our day. He is THAT good.
What can I say? You can't forget Frank Sinatra. R.I.P. Frank Sinatra.
