Greater than I could ever know

So, I have a confession to make. I totally love having a DVR. Does anyone else have the ability to use this wonderful feature from their cable/satellite receivers? I can't watch a regular show now without the aid of the DVR because I can rewind and fast forward through commercials. I mean, I record everything. If I'm in the middle of something but want to watch later, I DVR it. If I want to catch up on a season of something, I DVR it. Love it! My latest thing I have been DVR'ing is old episodes of Touched by an Angel. I was in a far different space in my life when it was on TV. I might have even called it hokey or stupid before, but not now. Now, with everything I have gone through and am going through in my life, it makes me cry, but in a really fantastic way. I am just amazed at the power of the messages and the true Biblical teachings that are there. One thing that just caught me earlier tonight and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it was the thought that God loves us more than we could ever possibly imagine.

Think about that for a moment ... if you know God and He is in your life, there is a love for you so great and so significant that it escapes imagination. How wonderful. How beautiful. I think about things in my own life. I am so incredibly loved that He gives me so much opportunity for healing and to give service. I get to work with young people every day. And they like working with me, too. They just light up when they see me, as I do with them. What an incredible gift and awesome responsibility I have been afforded. I cherish this blessing, hold it close to my heart and remember to never take it lightly. Another huge gift is the ability today to live as a diabetic. With so many diseases that course through people's bodies, some that do not even have any way of being regulated, I have the opportunity to live a life today with the aid of insulin and oral medication. Hopefully it won't be like that forever. However, even if that is the case, I have the chance to live a worthwhile life. Sure, sometimes it makes me sad that I need these things to live. Yet, thank you my God in heaven for giving me the opportunity. I hope I don't blow it! Obviously, I am still here on this earth for some reason. God loves me more than I can possibly imagine. That's pretty cool.
