Yes, a response from the message yesterday!!!
While my married life is different, I wanted to share a couple of thoughts that came to me during the service.
First, Randy, it was very insightful to ask Melissa to confirm/or deny a women's perspective.
The little things you do or say to us allows me to always know the Holy Sprit is guiding your sermons. Thank-You!
Looking back at the last couple of years, the number one thing that was most dear to me and causes my sadness is not having security. I'm not talking about financial.
It is the idea that Melissa expressed.
The unfailing knowledge that your partner is there for you to depend upon, in times of need - whether serious or simple. (I don't even want to think about the serious things now….)
For me it is the little things like hanging pictures on the wall, having to look for purchases that you don't have to put together, getting lost and not having him to call …in cold-rainy weather, he showed his love by always making sure I had a full tank of gas….
I depend upon myself for those things now, I must always think ahead because I don't have him to depend upon…
(Of course, I know God watches over me and He places saints in my path to support me.)
Oh how my hope for engaged couples, the newly married, couples that are growing apart or the confirmation to the couples that have it together, the knowledge of what love is - daily - the little insignificant things, the things that we each take for granted - don't do it! God's desire for unity between a man and women is so perfect, life is hard and to share life with a partner is a true gift from our Creator.
