Love Changes Everything! Very Nice Toomas! Beautiful!!!
A Word from the old Married Folk: (Ha ha!)
God showed me something about these people we are married to....Atleast the ones he meant for us or approved us etc....
And sisters and brothers, I "Did" get God's Ok before I married this 2nd time!!!!!
This man or woman we are married to (or that we "will" marry), they are .....God's hand of Love extended to us! I do not believe the power of Marriage is in the letter (Document) but in the power of the "Spirit" of Marriage who himself....Makes us One! And He "does" make us one!
He makes us "One" whether we like it or not! ha ha! So if you are getting ready to marry, then get ready to.....Be made One! ha ha!
Seriously Now....I have seen the "self sacrificing" Love of God in this man he gave me; I have seen him die some deaths for me, and come out standing. I have seen him "never give up" on me; a characteristic of the "One" who Loves me most! I have seen him Love me when I was unlovable, when I was dead wrong about things that did hurt him. I have seen him "care for my soul," when he rightfully in human reason had good reason to....hit the raod Jack and never come back.
Sometimes he has joked and said, "I'd think hard before I did it again," (we've been through some fires! trials!)
But when I ask him, he always says, "I'd do it again right now." And it makes me cry "right now." And I often look to God and marvel, in wonder, at the "Love" "of his" that he gave me in this man. And I know "with a knowing" that what God is "giving" us in "All" the people we have love relationship with is.....His Love!
It's something I seemed to know God gave me through this man. It's as if my Father is my husband, and gave me his Fatherly Love in the mortal form of this man I call Philly (Phil).
Now "if" we are not feeling such Love being given to us, the thing to do is to "feely give" Love away, and this will make grow what we want to be given to us.
Of interest, Marriage Counceling often says: When we are feeling a Relationship falling apart, and we want to leave it, it's often (maybe not always) because "we" aren't giving enough, Not because the other one isn't. There's a secret and magic to Giving without a secret motive of Getting. And "Giving" in Love Relationships does Not mean Giving You what "I" would like to be given, but it means Giving You...what makes "You" feel Love!
