Take a look at this picture and what do you see? To a rabbit it might look like a sweet treat, to a farmer a field of profit but to me it says "Grandma I love you more than anyone".
This bit of clover was brought in to me by my sweat 5 year old grandson, Chase and he told me he went out in the field and picked this "flower" just for me. A dozen roses couldn't have meant more to me (but I will take them Robert). Understand, when he saw that flower he thought of me. I was on his mind and all he could think of was getting it for grandma and running it into the house to me. He know I would open my arms and wrap them around him and love him, say thank you and tell him how much I loved him and how beautiful the flower was.
I love cliche's. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and one that the pastor used today in his sermon....You can give without loving but you can not love without giving. Chase was an example of this...he loved me so he retrieved the flower for me BUT the perfect example of love was GOD...For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him will have everlasting life. God loved us so much he opened his arms and died for us so that we could have that personal relationship with him and everlasting life so full and sweat.
You might ask was the clover that beautiful...???!!!! It was far deeper than that, it was the thought that counted!!!! I was on Chase's mind and heart like I was on Jesus mind and heart the day he gave his all BUT the good news doesn't stop there. I am still on his mind and heart. He is my best friend. With arms wide open he loves to get our gifts of love, when we praise him, do good deeds, read his word and talk to him. We are on his mind...the questions is...IS HE on ours?
