Marriage
One day I thought I'd make a candle, so I could have its pretty light, not too big, wider than it was tall, it would be such a lovely sight.
I learned real fast that it wasn't as easy as I had imagined it would be for the wick had to have an anchor, or else it would just float free.
Not only did there have to be one at the bottom, but also up above, to keep it straight, so that later on, it would give off that glow that I love.
So I found the little silver anchors to put in the bottom of my mold and a pencil to wrap the ends around, while I poured in all the melted wax it would hold.
I put two wicks inside my candle for in my heart I just knew that one is pretty, two would be more lovely, for my candle, nothing less would do.
It reminded me so of how God is shaping my life, Jesus the anchor that holds it all, and the salvation He brings is like the pencil, holding me up so I won't fall.
The melted wax that flows around is like the daily living of my life, and the wonder is that there are two wicks, one is you, my husband, the other is me, your wife.
Together we stand straight and tall, God trims our wicks each day anew, and when the day-candle comes out of its mold, our love burns so steady and true.
The light we have is twice as bright because our "one" is made from "two"
and it was God's love for us both that brought us together, the light of love shared - you to me, and me back to you.
I'm so grateful that Jesus is our anchor, and we have eternal life just waiting for us above, and in between we have a taste of heaven, expressed in the light of our love!
