Today I am Loving {223}

When it's a rainy cold Tuesday afternoon,  but some of the babies have cancelled and so you use the time to curl up and plan for the rest of them. 

Today I am Loving {222}

When you're keeping it simple,

keeping it real.

Today I am Loving {221}

When you haven't found your Christmas spirit, 

but you're working on it.

Today I am Loving {220}

When you spend the day traveling, in order to hang out with the mother of the soon-to-be-born.

Today I am Loving {219}

 When there are people of such thoughtful commitment in the world, and you have a day to meet together in the crux of the places that matter with the fullness of your authentic selves, and all of your hearts are moved, and all of your emotions are choking you up,
and even though the day is past, 

the Holy Spirit tears still weep.

Today I am Loving {218a}

When you gather at the Thai place with the Police Chief, the Pastor, your Institute Director and the new friends/awesome guests, and have the most beautiful heart conversation, through which you sit like a proud mama at the head of the table watching the Holy Spirit live and breathe and have His way, and then the new friends/awesome guests lead the gathered crowd, 

in dialogue

 and listening.

Today I am Loving {218}

When two awesome guys come to town, and--

though you were all out late for dinner the night before--

 you pick them up at the crack of the morning
for the radio interview that brings you to tears,

 before going for coffee, talk,

and donuts.
