this is my least favourite of all the devotions from Thomas. It's so easy to think of all the perfect and wonderful qualities and then list them in sentences starting with the words "Love is..."
so what? what difference does that make? Love is many wonderful things, but in the end it has to be experienced.
So, here is my contribution to the "Love is..." list:
Love gets it's hands dirty with the realities of life. Self-righteous religion presents a cautious, measured, "correct" position that distances itself from the messiness and troubles of sin-sick people.
Love get's up after a shocking night of sleeplessness, because of restless children, and then does what needs to be done to feed them and get them off to school.
Love sticks by people when many others ahve given up on them!
it's not pretty. but then, that's love for you!!!
