Early in my stint as a basketball coach’s wife I discovered how busy and disrupted our Christmas celebrations would be. Between pre-season tournaments, holiday tournaments and extra practices during holiday break our family times had to be scheduled in on purpose. Life BEHIND THE BENCH required special attention in order to share loving and meaningful family times that reached out to our neighborhood, to our church family and to our loved ones.
Touching our world with expressions of love was but a dim reflection of God’s great love, love that reached past all of my faults and into my heart. This writing says it best…
Right from the beginning God’s love has reached, and from the beginning man has refused to understand, but love went on reaching, offering itself. Love offered the eternal…we wanted the immediate. Love offered deep joy…we wanted thrills. Love offered freedom…we wanted license. Love offered communion with God Himself…we wanted worship at the shrine of our own minds. Love offered peace…we wanted approval for our wars. Even yet, love went on reaching. And still today, after two thousand years, patiently, lovingly, Christ is reaching out to us right through the chaos of our world, through the confusion of our minds. He is reaching…longing to share with us the very being of God. Gloria Gaither
His love keeps reaching all the way to where we are. The Word of the Father became Mary’s little Son, Jesus Christ … our Savior!
