I am His...

As I reflected on Valentine's Day this morning, I realized how much God has blessed me. I grew up with no father, so I was nobody's princess...
On Valentine's Day, I received beautiful cards with the most precious sentiments from Josh, Ben and Mark..., a box of See's truffles, flowers, a Jamba Juice gift card and a very special lunch date with my big guy - love of my life - at Las Brisas in Laguna Beach. Yes, I felt like a princess. I could hear the Lord say, "Bonnie, you have been My Beloved all along".
It makes me think of my favorite hymn:

"In the Garden"

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.


He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.


I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.


Yes, don't ever forget that we are loved by the Lord....
and on top of that, we also received a wonderful box of Valentine treats from the best sister and Auntie!
