Unexpected blessings

God blessed me with an awesome mother in law. We have spent the last two nights talking until 1 am, laughing, crying, and praying. She is an amazing woman, that loves Jesus, and her family and friends whom she calls family, more than anything else. When I married into this family, I was overwhelmed by the closeness that they shared, and throughout the six and a half years of being family, I too have become involved in that closeness. She puts relationship above anything else, and I relax in her presence. She's so wise, and knows so much about the bible. She loves unconditionally, and the hurting ones in our family, are drawn to her. She truly represents what it means to be a mama, and a grandma, or Mammo as all her grandchildren call her. God blessed me with my husband, and when I married him I gained a family that I never could have ever imagined would love me as they do their own blood, and that I equally love. I am so greatful.

One example of their thoughtfullness, came in an unexpected way. When they arrived they pulled out of their suitcase, two frozen burritos, and salsa from my favorite resturaunt in CA. I love that place so much, and we've all shared many family meals there. They took the time to go and purchase these things, freeze them and carry them on their 6 hour flight to TN. I was touched, and my tummy is happy too.
