I know it&#8217;s absurd of me to think He ordered the day just for me, but I did. &nbsp;I live inside the box of just God and me. &nbsp;We&#8217;ve got a &#8220;thing&#8221; going on. &nbsp; It&#8217;s one of the perks of being a widow. &nbsp;I like to think that I&#8217;m so special to Him, that He orders up special gifts and treats&#8230;..just for me. &nbsp;The Apostle John thought the same thing. &nbsp;Remember how he kept referring to himself as the &#8220;one that Jesus loved&#8221;. Those words are found six times in the Gospel of John. &nbsp;My goodness, that must have ticked off the other disciples, but I like to think that each and every one of us can say that. &nbsp;&#8220;I am the one that Jesus loves,&#8221; because He does. &nbsp;So I like to think He ordered this day just for me, after all, I&#8217;m the one Jesus loves. &nbsp;Tomorrow is another day when duty will call, but for this day, it was only doing the &#8220;want to&#8217;s&#8221;, with just a little &#8220;have to&#8217;s&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>While I was basking in His love for me, my &#8220;want to&#8217;s&#8221; included writing &#8220;Love Letters&#8221; to some important people in my life &#8212; to express my love, AND God&#8217;s love for them. &nbsp;And it felt so good to be in such a peaceful and quiet place where I could truly think about what they meant to me&#8230;&#8230;and then expess those thoughts in a Love Letter. &nbsp;Isn&#8217;t that the pattern God gave us? &nbsp;He gave us so many Love Letters in the Bible, but each sunrise, each snowflake, each sweet smile and &#8220;I love you&#8221; from others to us, and even, each morning &#8212; just waking up &#8212; is His love letter to us. &nbsp;He says &#8220;I love you. &nbsp;I love you. &nbsp;I love you.&#8221;<br \/>\n#ForGodSoLoved #ILoveYou #LoveLetters<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 55 of Photo Inspirations &#8212; A Day for Love Letters Yesterday was a sweet home-bound day, when the snow continued to fall and give me every reason to stay in my comfy robe and househoes. &nbsp;I love these days when it seems that God gives me a heavenly nudge to slow down and enjoy&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[10621,741,3828,10622,3614,40,3617,3618,6801,10623],"class_list":["post-1757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-apostle-john","tag-beloved","tag-for-god-so-loved","tag-have-to","tag-i-love-you","tag-inspiration","tag-love-letters","tag-one-that-jesus-loved","tag-photo-inspiration","tag-want-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1757"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3353,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1757\/revisions\/3353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypeacezone.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
