Meditation: Am I in debt?
Proper 18 Year A
Romans 13: 8 – 14

In debt for the love you have given me.
Undeserving, sometimes callous, thoughtless and cavalier with the expectations of others.
Yet I am loved.

How do I return the love of a mother who invested her life in my life from birth to her death?
