"I could more easily contain the Gulf of Mexico in a shot glass than I can comprehend the wild, uncontainable love of God."
Brennan Manning, "Reflections for Ragamuffins"
The one thing that I have learned as an aging person is, the older I get, the less I have figured out. And the one thing I completely realize I don't have figured out is God. We have some knowledge of God and we certainly are encouraged to get to know God throughout our lives, granted. But, just when I feel I have grasped God, God surprises me again. Sometimes it helps to have a visual for our beliefs and this quote gives me a great one...the Gulf of Mexico in a shot glass! I also love the phrase, the "uncontainable love of God." Isn't that splendid? Today, let's not try to figure out the love of God...let's just bask in it. Love, heidi
