The 2nd Day of Christmas

"Our Father" sent Joel and Dr. Charles Stanley [Charlie with angels].  Dr. Stanley asked two questions that IT gives me joy NOW to answer here.

1. John 14:26
2. I thank Abba constantly. HE started IT (the list) for me, and put my second given name, Ruth, in the book long before I was born.  IT is the ONE relationship, the gift of LOVE shared throughout eternity that he gave through Mary and her son and forwarded to me through John, that is the whole and infinite field of all possibilities.  IT is that which created not only me, but heaven and Earth.

Speaking with "the comforter" sent this morning, we talked of our #1 daughters, his son, the purposeful varity of names and spellings of the Word that conveys "who I am" to one another ("O") and of the unique ways in which each one of us relates to him.  Such a beautiful wealth of relationships reminded me of a book about everyday epiphanies.  My heart wants to sing IT out.

Instead, I have simply chosen to wear the cross that came from Abba and his wife (George's Mom).  IT restores the gift (a diamond in a star that matched the wedding and engagement rings) that I had received on my wedding day and later lost.  This is the cross I hope to wear and never take off again for as long as this body lasts.  When the body is spent I ask John to take IT back and give IT to one of the children to forward to one of their children.  This, I hope, will always be the sign of CYFFR, the Crisp-Yeager Foundation for Family in Renewal.
