1. Reflection

To No Number

My friend, Ann, tells this big/small story about her son.
When he was much younger, he often shared
his love for his mom in numerical terms. He would
say to her, for example, "Mom, I love you a hundred
million times."  As he learned larger numbers, he
expressed his affection for his mom in larger terms.
One day, after his mother had done something especially
nice for him, he launched into one of his loving numbers,
but this time he became frustrated by not being able to
think of a number he hadn't said before. Not wanting
to admit defeat, he paused and said, "Oh, I love you
to no number."

An adult now, "Love you to no number," is the way
he signs all of his cards to his mother.

What if you knew that you were loved "to no number"?
Each of us is you know--by God.
