It's all about love today for the Faith Jam! Let's keep it light.
I was thinking this morning about all the different kinds of love.
I love my husband.
I love my son.
I love my sister, my parents, and the rest of my family.
I love my friends and my brothers and sisters in the Lord.
I love chocolate and puppies and stay-at-home days.
And I love God.
Obviously I don't feel the same kind of love toward puppies that I feel toward God. But I was thinking that God is like an umbrella over all of these other gifts. After all, "Every good and perfect gift is from above" (James 1:17a), right?
Happy Valentine's Day!
God has really been throwing out James 1:17 to me a lot lately! So often, I am ungrateful for the wonderful, good, and precious gifts he gives me. So, yes! Puppies!!! Definitely a God-gift. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your list! And God does blanket all with His love. Amen!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget coffee.
ReplyDeleteI really like the umbrella metaphor.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines to you and yours! So excited to hear your post tomorrow :) Friday Faves... Right?!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete"God is like an umbrella over all of these other gifts."
ReplyDeleteI think that is a beautiful and modern translation of James 1:17! Love it.
