Yvonne--What a great story--it is always a great day when we realize how much God loves us. Seems like we can know that in our heads--intellectually--for years, but then one day He moves that truth down to our hearts. It just takes some of us longer than others. I love the way Brennan Manning talks about the day he realized that love: "I've been seized by the power of a great affection." We just have to trust that God chose the perfect time in our lives to reveal that truth to us. It always seemed to me that I should have known that love a lot sooner! Thanks for sharing your heart with us!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, I can only imagine the fun & laughter you have brought to so many situations with your great smile & sweet disposition! Thank you for sharing your story---how could we have imagined that God would grant "the desires of our hearts" in such unique ways? Looking forward to our visit at the reunion.
