LOVE IS...
-waking up early on a long weekend to drive 8 hrs straight
-willing to drive another hour and a half immediately to an outlet mall
-buying someone else everything they want and sitting/waiting patiently for 5 hrs in the heat while others shop
-having an extremely late dinner and then driving another hour and a half in the middle of the night
-spotlessly cleaning a guest suite where you've spent just one night
-worrying about someone's adjustment in a new church
-driving more than half an hour for errands
-coming back to hem three new pants...
-...only to drive out AGAIN to same place for more errands
-organizing a closet
-waiting in line for half an hour just for take-out (when it's not your own)
-buying enough food, for two starving students, to last three meals
-dropping off food & hitting the road for another 8 hours of straight driving in pitch dark
-arriving home at an indecent hour; after spending more than 20 hours on the road for just two days of travelling
I am so incredibly blessed to have such loving parents. They will do absolutely anything and everything for me and I have done nothing to deserve them. I begin to think:

How is it even possible that humans can have so much love in them?
What am I doing with my capacity to love?
Can it even begin to compare to the sacrifices that my parents made?
When I think of this, I can't help but be reminded of God's love for me and for us! What's so incredible is that God's love is so much more then what my parents did this weekend...a crazy amount more, so much that I can't even begin to imagine. Thank you Lord! Honestly, 'what else can I do but worship'?
