it's looking in the same direction.

| Posted 1/29/2002 12:53 AM (GMT -6) | | I'm back again. I was just grinding a pot of fresh coffee for my wife to sip while reading a book in the tub. She gently nudges my toes at about 5:00 so that I can lie in hot water and get the "kinks" out of my back, and whatever. Then I wake her. Last night she asked if I was thinking of making fresh coffee, for a late night. I answered that a thought had just popped into my brain, having passed in through the ear.
One answer to what Love is, is that Love is little things that are part of a bigger thing. "...looking in the same direction." :)
Love is also being 'buried' in Love. When someone has wronged me it is Christ's cross that takes that wrong and claims it. The strength and healing Christ gives may not take that pain away, but it is strong enough to take away the wrath and the inner hurt. Like seeing the Russian Orthodox putting away foods little by little (Some Carpathian's I know do lent as a progressive thing, laying aside, in order, something like this: red meats first; then cheeses; then fish; and by the end minestrone is something you are willing no to see again for half a year.) as if laying them into the Tomb with Christ so that they too (all creation can be ressurrected with Christ. When we put hurts into the tomb is Christ (not our strength or imagination, or concoctions) which gives us strength.
I had gotten 'wronged' at work on Friday. Saturday Vespers at a local Orth. church was where that 'burial' took place. (The sermon Sunday at the CRC church was great, by the way.)
There's an answer, Mr. Stoller
