love...
Where oh where has dear Anna been, where oh where could she be….I’m not sure what has happened to her or minutes, hours, days and weeks in between.
I am just so overwhelmed today by love – and by love I mean pure, unabashed, unconditional, undeserving, raw and beautiful love. When the Bible talks about Christ loving the church like a bridegroom, before I was married that meant little to me. Since being married and going through the daily dregs of life, with this amazing and constant supporter, lover and friend beside me, it takes on new meaning. I am not saying that my single friends can not understand this metaphor but when you experience human love to this extent, it makes it so much more real and tangible.
God loves me so much and I never deserve it. I get dirty all the time, I mess up all the time, I screw things up, I hurt people and yet, He unconditionally loves me. My husband loves me the same way and it just overwhelms me that both of them can and do.
I read a blog today of someone who is connected to many of our friends in Ohio and I was so moved that I cried. The bond of marriage and the bond of love is so incredible that I can’t begin to get my hands or my brain around it.
I am overwhelmed by love today.

Great news on your hubbie's blog. Hopefully this means a lot of relief for your mother and your family.

Corbin, it most certainly does. Although there is the road to recovery to deal with, it pales in comparison to what we had been going thru. We hope to have her home and back to normal by Christmas.
