Meg will fall into a dead faint when she sees all the chocolate!

(Shhhhh. Don't say anything, but if she sees the chocolate table first - that means more FOOD for the rest of us! She'll be there all NIGHT!) LOL!!!

I live with chronic depression, and I used to suffer from a guilty conscience. I thought God was always angry, counting my sins and eager to punish, until one night God was revealed to me as a gentle father.

At the end of a long day, I kissed my children goodnight. When I turned to go, I was overcome by how much I love them. Almost immediately, I felt God speak to my heart, "Then why don't you believe that I love you, my daughter?"

I realized that God loves me unconditionally, as I love my children. When my children do something wrong, I do not stop loving them. I discipline them; I guide them back to the right path; and when they are sorry, I forgive them. God is a merciful parent, loving me even as I sin. Though upset by some of my actions, God guides me in love. When I repent, God rejoices and forgives me.

I still suffer from depression, but I know now that I have a Father who cares for me, walking with me through my dark times and loving me in spite of myself.

Prayer

Dear God, you are merciful and loving. Thank you. Help us to reflect your love to those around us so that they too may know your great kindness. Amen.

Oh my gosh! All that food is life-sized, and I'm hungry for that buttered popcorn! Gotta check my pantry to see if there's any Orville Redenbacher. I'll snack on the fruit until it's popped. :)

I am not a football fan and don't watch the Super Bowl (commercials are neat though) :)

Either.......The “Pittsburgh” Bear or the “Pittsburgh” Snowmen! Which ever gets the job done!! :)
