Neapolitan Sky

Looking west as the sun gets ready to set, the sky is Neapolitan ice-cream colours. After yesterday’s wet snow and biting wind, today has been a gift. 

Well, it is Valentine’s Day, after all, so I am going to accept this as a love gift from our Lord who loves us so much he humbled himself and lived as a poor man, in order to make a way for us to be with him forever. 

Now if that isn’t Valentine Love, I don’t know what is!

Jesus doesn’t wait for one special day to shower his love on us, though. He’s ready to spend ‘quality’ time with us every day, every minute of every day. Just being in his presence is so healing, so restorative, even so much fun. 

Such a pity that in our busy lives, we so rarely give him that precious gift of our time. We are the poorer for it, but it’s a relationship, so he hurts, too, when we disregard him and choose to watch trash TV or gossip on the phone rather than stepping aside and just being with him.

This Lent I’m going to try to carve out special times with him. Hold me accountable in this blog, and I’ll let you know how it goes.

Happy Valentine’s Day, from the Divine Lover of your soul.
