everlasting love

I think (and hope) that the heart in Ismail's coffee was not put there on purpose by the guy who served us, but just happened by chance. The Incarnation however was not an act of chance or fluke. It was the carefully designed entrance into the world of Jesus, the Son of God, to ensure that God the Father could deliberately and eternally fix his everlasting love on upon all who would believe in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. This is Christmas.
