Marriage
Yesterday as I sat and shared in the special joy of our friends renewing their wedding vows after 50 years of marriage, my eyes filled with tears as I watched them still holding hands, their eyes meeting with such wonderful love - you could just feel the bonds of love that were woven about them; it was all the more special because we all knew how very ill they both are, and what a struggle it was for them to be there at all.
And I thought as the music played.... and remembered the anticipation I had just before walking down the aisle...the eagerness to run to you, to begin our lives together.... the happiness I felt then...and now...for each morning I awake with the fresh joy that it is a brand new day with you...and the anticipation is the same, the eagerness to run and begin the future hours...the happiness that fills me.... the love I feel for you.
I watched them look at each other, their eyes saying things that words could not express...and I remembered the touch of your hand at our wedding.... looking at you through tears of joy.... my eyes telling you of the love that can't be put into words...and every day, those same words of love are sill said with my eyes when I look at you...the special things that can only be said without words...and with my hand in yours, we can go together and discover this day's new joys.
When the ceremony was over, and the music played as they went...together now in the leaving, where at the beginning they'd come in alone...and that was how it will be, hands together, side by side.... to face whatever each day brings, together with His grace and their love.
Each day is so new, such a gift to cherish...a time to realize again, how much our love means, how it fills our world, how the path ahead is now joy...for whatever it brings - sharing it together will make the joys sweeter, and the sorrows less sad.... and I thank Him each morning for the gift of the day, and the wonder of sharing it with you!
