There are times when my blessings are almost too much for me to handle; when just looking at such God given gifts humbles me tremendously. Looking upon my wife is usually such a moment.
It's when she is not trying to be pretty, when beauty is the last thing on her mind, that I see just how gorgeous she truly is. At times like that I feel like at any moment she is going to figure out just how unworthy I am of all God made her to be. At any moment she is going realize I really have grabbed hold of more than I know what to do with in marrying her.
However, I am very well aware of what I have; what God has actually blessed me with in this sacrament of marriage. My marriage is my passage into heaven. That's right, I truly believe my best chances of seeing God face to face is by living out my married life as He intended. By offering my wife 100% of me and my efforts always, (never any of this 50/50 nonsense), no matter if at times I may feel she is not offering 100% of herself to me, I am living out a life-giving marriage.
My Love of God leads to my Love of my wife. That to me is much more appealing than the alternative which is a Godless nothingness. God is Love and Love brings forth Life. This truly is more than my words can describe.
Blessings,
Michael
