... and this time, not by Joakim!
Therese wants me to give her five reasons why I love Jesus... Ummm.... okay then...
1. Because He loves me, died for me, forgives me and gives Himself to me anytime I go to receive Him in the Blessed Sacrament... and I love Him because He brought me back to the Church, where I
can receive Him in the Sacraments
2. Because He is incredibly patient with me and has never given up on me, even during those times when I had pushed Him away and given up on Him... and that He's always there for me and gives me the grace to work through the difficult stuff
3. Because He doesn't just simply tolerate me and think "Oh no, not
her again!", but He loves me and loves spending time with me... And He listens to me, and even though He knows all the itty bitty random details of my day, in even more detail than
I do, He still wants me to tell Him all about it... and doesn't get bored when I do (even when I'm at the point where I'm boring myself!) :-)
4. Because He has put so many amazing people into my life whom I don't deserve and will never deserve, just simply because He wants to bless me
5. To "borrow" one of the
Curt Jester's answers, because "He loved me where I was at, but didn't leave me there."
Actually, the Curt Jester has some great answers there... I also like "I love the view from his shoulders as he carried me back to the flock." :-)
Okay... Five people to tag...
Éamonn (of course!),
Margreet, Dan (you can leave a comment!!)... and seeing as
Therese has already "stolen"
Dana and
Joakim (and I don't know who else reads my blog), I would like to tag you for a
different meme!
"If you could invite your five favourite saints to dinner, what would you serve them to eat, and why?"
(And you're not allowed to tag me back for that one!!!!) :-PGood luck! ;-)
