It is amazing how much room your heart has to love. Over the past few months I have felt like the Grinch, not for anything negative but because my heart has grown 3 sizes. The best part about it is that while you feel like you can't possibly love something this much, what you find is that you start to love everything increasingly more! The love between you and your wife grows. Your love and appreciation for your family grows and most important the love for God and his Grace grows. All of these are good things but occasionally, when you think about how deep your love for these things are... it HURTS! Leaving Sofia every morning hurts! Thinking about her growing up... hurts! Thinking about disciplining her... hurts! Thinking about your family and seperation, hurts. Thinking about Jesus and what seperation from everything good, his Father, truly meant... HURTS! The major take away for me in the past 4+ months is, when God says to "Multiply" he said it so that we experience even more of his Glory by growing in Love! A Love that, even though it may hurt sometimes, grows!
