Love is Thicker than Paper. I am pre-writing these devotions because I am traveling.

​​In my family farmhouse finds, I have no less than 2 inches of paper in a ziploc, sole stacked for a massive set of postcards for an ANNY – whom I have discovered is my great grandmother’s sister – whom got most of these cards from a suitor – and they are sweet – ​from 1909 to 1910 – she must have been a fine young 20yr old lady then but so sad that I found she lost her life early on – as the gravestone shows she was only 27 years old in when she passed.​ The cards are in the old language and I can not read them – and cursive is not so conducive to the google photo translators. Hmmm…

She was one of three adult children who passed at young ages – after their father and before their mother (in their 70s) all recorded on one of the family gravestones I recently “unearthed” on the internet… I hope to visit this place one day.​

I do feel sorry for the situation – and for that suitor – I mean that IS a lot of postcards (like I said – 2 inches thick)… I am sure Love was much thicker than paper.

Another set of papers that found were these religious mailing inserts – inside Christmas and Easter cards​ – these included Moses and two of Jesus – one at the Garden of Gethsemane and one from Luke 15 – of the lost sheep and the lost coin – urging repentance of “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

God wants our repentance and our love – following Him. His Love has been through thick and thin of our faith – His LOVE is THICKER than Paper – Thicker than blood – or at least just like the covering of our sins with blood of Jesus – who went to the thick of death for our lives give in grace and mercy.

God pursues us – God does – God is our suitor and God is our Savior. One day our Bridegroom will come for us – His Bride… To Him – we are the BEST – because of Him…

Amen
