How about TGIGF? Thanking God it's Good Friday, the day we remember the immensity of His love for us.
A couple of weeks ago my son was crying and had his fingers in his mouth. I promised him that I would find something to comfort him and later that day had found some teething gel. I had kept the first promise I'd made to him and he now knows that I will comfort him when his gums hurt.
It's the experience of having a son of my own that gives me a powerful glimpse into how much God loves us. I hate to see him suffer, even momentarily - and yet the Father watched His Son suffer and die - in love for us.
It is contemplating the true Father that I can begin to realise how precious each person is - grace is freely given but grace was so very costly.
Our priest said that Good Friday - rather than Valentine's Day is the real celebration of love.
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." - John 15:13
A holy and happy Easter to you Damian.
