Love Completely

So about 2 weeks ago, I posted about the One Month to Live book and campaign. Last week, I read, and read, and read, about loving completely. There is much to learn, you see, and I was working toward it.

Then yesterday, the reading week-end sermon was a follow up to all of this. The Chief and I listened, and took the challenge seriously.

We arrived home to create a veritable love fest~family style.

Now, we are normally loving, kind people, but sometimes things get dicey when living with a severely hearing impaired, developmentally delayed 2 year old who poops upwards of 8x daily; a 6 year old Sensory Dysfunction poster child who is also developmentally delayed; a 9 year old girl who is certain that she is in on all the secrets of how life really is and is too high and mighty to share them; and a teenager who changes moods with her excessive perfume, but can never manage to get her room fully picked up. Well when you live with people, sometimes patience runs short. Alas, yesterday when both parents were set on putting our whole hearts into the game again, it was a beautiful thing. I don't think anybody yelled at all yesterday.
