God must really love me!
God must really love me!
Today, as the rain comes pouring out of the gray skies and the long weekend looms in front of me, full of places to be and things to do, I can’t help but reflect on how much God must really love me. God must really love me to give me a friend in my life who has offered to help me by watching the Babycakes every Friday, pro bono. God must really love me to give me a friend who encourages me to be enthusiastic about my faith and to share it with others. God must really love me to give me a job where I can take my daughter to work and interact with the most generous and amazing people I have ever met. God must really love me to give me a husband like him and a daughter like Babycakes. God must really love me to surround me with women who (a) answer my frantic “what do I do?” calls without a trace of giggling, (b) assure me I’m neither fanatical nor weird using examples from my own life, and (c) call me unexpectedly and share words of wisdom that I need to hear. God must really love me to drop people in on me who entertain a grouchy Babycakes and enjoy talking to me adult-to-adult. God must really love me to give me the strength to not lose my mind when I deal with certain family members. God must really love me to let me have friends I’m related to and family I’m friends with.
