Feeling and love

Week 3ish of church...

As I understand it, feelings don't really come into love. Swooping gushes of joy are a an extraneous bonus. Talking of the incarnation this morning we were told, 'if you don't feel excited and joyful, you should!'

Actually I feel quite overwhelmed, and it all seems so removed and heavenly that it feels difficult to relate this to my life here and now. I'll acknowledge the incarnation is amazing, but do I feel joyful? Should I feel joyful? I don't think it matters what I feel, it IS.

On a good point I talked to an old friend of my mum's and she said it had made her day to know that I'm okay. That was nice.
