His banner over me is Love

I have had a song stuck in my head for the past few days from my childhood:
The Lord is mine and I am His
His banner over me is love
The Lord is mine and I am His
His banner over me is Love
His banner over me is Love
I realized that I have felt so much love from God over the past few weeks expressed to me through other people. Marrying Bryan would of course be at he top of the list. And I don't even know what to say about that except from that it is an amazing feeling! Bryan has shown me in many ways everyday that I am loved and appreciated. We now know (thanks too a book that was recommended to us by the wonderful Pastor who married us) that quality time means a lot to both of us and we have enjoyed making that a regular part of our day.
I also feel lots of love from both of our parents who have been helpful and supportive in each of their own ways. I don't know if they know how much that means, but, love abounds between the four of them.
And of course who could forget all of the wonderful friends and family who were at the wedding and helped to move it indoors so quickly! And friends that were at the reception in MI! It's nice to feel so much support from people that have helped you and watched you grow up, Friends that have been with you through so many milestones!
God has also provided for us in other personal ways over the past week as we have begun to get our household in order and at the same time, he has given us invitation to grow closer to him in love and in trust. My prayer is that we continue to accept his banner of Love as our own banner.
