Lent - Daddy Love

Sometimes when Bella is upset or moody or mad, Mike will grab her and say, "You need some daddy love".  Sometimes this works to make her laugh. Other times, well, it doesn't. Nonetheless, Mike's heart is the heart of father who will give some daddy love when times are tough.  I'm very grateful for a husband that displays love to his daughter.  And, also grateful for a husband who points me to the Father by his actions.

 This Lent season has been about that type of love.  It's about a Father who will hug us even when we're moody or upset or concerned or worried.  It's about looking up at the Father, our Abba Father.
 It's about resting in His Unconditional Love.
 It's about His Steadfastness and Righteousness and Mercy and Justice.
 And, then it's about being free in that Steadfast Love and Righteousness and Mercy.  Free to love. Free to run.
