Judging by the sheer number of phone calls and the exuberance of listeners who got through to join Bekah and me on the air, the Mid-Morning "Win One, Give One" show is a hit! Yes, every winner received a book for themselves and a book to give away; but what impressed me was the thoughtfulness behind the "give one" choices. Winners had specific reasons for selecting their gift books. They intimately know the interests and hearts of their special person.
And isn't it good to be known?
My husband knows lots of things about me: I like two spoonfuls of sugar and milk in my tea...I'm forever cold. Ruffles (both the chips and as a clothing style) make me happy...Cleaning the house empties the clutter in my head...and a whole lot more. But only God knows me through and through -- and He loves me with a love that's beyond my own reckoning.
I love the way Brennan Manning describes God's love: "Hope your wildest hopes, dream your maddest dreams, imagine your most fantastic fantasies. Where your hopes, dreams and imagination leave off, My love begins."
Tuck that away in your heart as we celebrate this season of God's love.
