Warmth

I am fairly sure that reconciliation is one of the most therapeutic events a person can have. I think the Creator has been in that business for a very long time. If it warms his heart as much as it does our human hearts, then the addendum to the prodigal son story is more literal than figurative. All I know is that I saw a glimpse of the first stages of reconciliation a couple of nights ago between two people that should have every reason to have affection for each other but didn't. My heart was warmed and I wasn't even one of the parties being reconciled. It was like taking a nice warm shower for a long period of time or like coming in from the warm sun and still feeling its warmth on the skin.
