It never ceases to amaze me how God works through his children. You... dear one, have such a gift and I'm grateful for having found this post... once again. <br /><br />-PaulHarbor Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500378464349029784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-67098358779564974052010-10-28T03:41:46.446-05:002010-10-28T03:41:46.446-05:00You are absolutely right about the change that hap...You are absolutely right about the change that happens when you marry into another family. I'm so happy that you are readying yourself for that state of being. I know some people that didn't do that, and it causes such pain when they decide to leave (divorce, leaving the order) and break away from their family. Your mom had it right. The benefits and love you receive from belonging to a family, far outweigh the annoyances they can also sometimes provide ;) My in-laws all tick me off sometimes, but I know they would have my back in a heartbeat and that they love me as intensely as I love them and that we are tied together, forever! Even my horrible ex-sister in law is in my heart and always will be...she gave us our nieces and nephew and made my brother happy, for a time...sorry to go on and on. I was really touched by your description of family here in this post.Laura The Crazy Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08904542599983127845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-81738617269048021892010-10-27T23:04:36.034-05:002010-10-27T23:04:36.034-05:00Owen ~ Of course I'll pray for you and your fa...Owen ~ Of course I'll pray for you and your family, and thank you for your prayers for me these last several years!<br /><br />Belinda ~ It is a nice thought, isn't it? One doesn't marry-out of a family, but rather, into another! The spouses of our cousins were always considered to be cousins themselves. <br /><br />David ~ I think you describe it well - and yes, I'll pray for your little "convent". :-) <br /><br />Nazareth Priest ~ I LIKE humble and obscure! It suits me! (Not that I'm humble, but..>I want to be!) I can't wait to see you all again soon!<br /><br />An Empty Clay Pot ~ Thank you. I write because I must and I write with the prayer that ultimately, it edifies others in some way.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-47635788034550981422010-10-27T17:55:18.670-05:002010-10-27T17:55:18.670-05:00Beautiful.

There...Either way it is a sacrifice, you are right. There is a lot of crossover too I think. Sometimes when I look around my house at my 4 little girls and my wife it seems like a convent, especially at prayer time! And I am sure nuns in a convent see themselves as in a family. Each vocation has eternal value. I will pray for you. And please pray for my little convent if you get to yours!David Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181838722750428356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-81149883296528969202010-10-26T06:58:26.633-05:002010-10-26T06:58:26.633-05:00nice reflection.
