Unconditional Love!

So, it’s 8pm on one of the longest days I’ve had in a long time. I’m starving, no time for lunch today and I finally pull in to my drive. 

All I can think about is my rumbling tummy and what a blessing it will be to fill it with some sort of frozen – microwaveable meal I have stored away in the freezer.

After a quick search I found the perfect meal on this beautiful but crisp cool autumn day.  The Marie Calendar’s Chicken Pot Pie!  In six minutes life will be complete.

It seemed like an hour watching it turn endlessly on the microwave carousel.  Finally after it’s cooling period it was ready to be devoured. 

It was ready!  I shook a little salt and began my journey in to what at the time seemed like a culinary delicacy. 

Within two minutes and only two bites, I had a surprise visitor in my presence.  My cat Bear!  He also seemed to have the desire to have Marie Calendar’s Chicken Pot Pie tonight.

He jumped from the carpet to the table and knocking my hard earned dinner all over the floor.

While for a brief moment I was furious, within a few seconds I was laughing and thinking, “If I didn’t love you… I would put you out of your misery.”

Unconditional Love!

Isn’t it funny how special that is.  I only know of a few times in my life that I felt unconditional love to or from someone else.  But it’s easy for us to have an unconditional love for our pets.  Bizarre! 

I guess the most important lesson I took from this is that no matter how sad, lonely, hungry, tired we get.  We who believe are so blessed to have that unconditional love Christ had for us.

While still hungry and searching for something to eat, I feel blessed today in knowing that He loved us so much that he gave his life so we could be forgiven for all of our sins.    How Cool.
