Reflections

Dear All,
After being on the road and gone from my home for 12 days its wonderful to be home.  It was great to visit family, but its also wonderful to be home again.  Something that really struck me and humbled me was Handsome's family.  They are an absolutely wonderful family and I love them oh so dearly.  What struck me was that I felt so at home and accepted by them.  Now some of you may be saying, "Well I would hope so, you did marry into their family," but that's just it, I married into their family.  I am not their flesh and blood, but they treat me as such.  They are showing me a love that I had never experienced outside of my own family and it has humbled me.  

I love my new family!!!  They are great!  :-)

It is an ever present reminder of how my God sees me.  I was not a part of His family until I married His Son and became the Bride of Christ.  I am therefore loved beyond what I can imagine because of who I became.  It is very humbling though, because I still remember who I was and how undeserving I am of His Love.  It is fun though to see the reflections of God's Love for us in the simplest things of life.  Like the Apostle Paul said, "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) I know that my family's love for me is only a speck of God's Love for me, but it is a wonderful reminder all the same. I hope that all of you are seeing the "poor" reflections in your lives and looking to the One who created them. Blessings to you all for the New Year!
Much Love,
The Adventurous Farm Wife

P.S. I love being married if you can't tell already! :-)
