Picture DEES #43 Caught in the Act of Love

Caught in the Act


In a previous picture DEE #41 I talked about getting “caught.” That was about how we often get ourselves “caught” or tangled up in things by the choices we make. Today’s picture DEE is about getting caught in the act of love.


In this video some of my grandkids and me got caught in the act of love singing Happy Birthday to my mom who turned 78, “Oh I mean 55, mom.” Behind the curtain no one knew what to expect when we came in front of our audience. As the crowd of five people laughed at our silliness I could see the sparkle in my mom’s eye as she laughed.


There are some things in life that are worth getting caught doing and the act of love is one of them. What a treasure it is to see a young child put on a floor show for their parents while someone nearby smiles. To see that hand full of flowers freshly picked from the flowerbed while someone near by smiles. The pretend tea parties, the dare devil bike tricks thru the mud while someone nearby smiles. Refrigerator artwork, made up creations, playhouses made under the dining room table while someone near by smiles.


Jesus was one who was caught in the act of love many times. Even His death was a symbol of His love for us. Never be afraid to get caught in the act of love. It’s a treasure for those you love and an act worth committing.

Happy Birthday Mom, I love you!

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
