And call it Love ❤

   Last night the 16 year old man child had his sports banquet. It was very nice and he received many kudos. When I posted his pics on Facebook I said Dad and I love you weirdo! Well weirdo is kind of our family creed. My oldest son consistently struggled with this. He would say Mom I'm weird and I don't fit anywhere. I would put my hand over my heart and say you belong here we are the same kind of weird. When I renewed my vows with my husband I included it in our vows.
We're all a little weird
And life's a little weird
And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours
We fall in mutual weirdness
And call it Love! 
~Dr. Suess
   It is absolutely a term of endearment. Please be sure I take pride in my weirdness shared with people possessing compatible weirdness. I think it is God's gift when you find your weirdos. They are your tribe! You can be you and they can be themselves, and this is where the joy lives where the peace grows! 
   And I firmly believe we are all weird in our own way. Own your weirdness! Father placed that in you knowing full well that someone somewhere needed it, longed  for it, and  fully shared it.  Your weirdness may be an obsession with sports or farming. Your weirdness may be computers and robotics and all that goes along with that. Your weirdness may be any number of things. I don't know I know I love you despite our differing weirdness. But I also know there is a special bond with "your" weirdos!
   Psalm 68:6 God places the lonely in families; He sets the prisoners free and gives them joy!!! 

   Loose those chains of belonging and sameness! Be the beautifully weird you, you were created to be! Because how sad would it be if we all hid this precious part of us and missed out on finding our like minded weirdo's, our people, our tribe!!  
    If where you find yourself, you find you are alone, they do not recognize or appreciate your brand of quirkiness. Carry on my wayward son! You are not a tree pull up roots and find your people! Love the ones who don't get you, knowing if we're honest... you probably didn't get them either. 
    Be you! Be weird! be joyful!
