Sitting here, another morning’s darkness

Thinking of today’s most beautiful view

Your kindness and love arrives with a smile

Transforming this heart to radiant new

 

Traveling life’s lonely, meaningless road

Dreaming of unlocking a better life

Your cherished spirit bestows precious light

Joining together as husband and wife

 

Making beloved home for two love birds

Nurturing passion with each priceless day

Your tender, caring thoughts lead us forward

Navigating with God’s love, shows His way

 

Affirming love through joyful affection

Walking in Jesus’ perfect reflection

From Song of Solomon 4:1:  “How beautiful you are, my love, how very beautiful!  Your eyes are doves behind your veil.  Your hair is like a flock of goats, moving down the slopes of Gilead.”

Hardship forces us to grab hands with one another and pull up closer together.

From Philippians 2:17-18:  “But even if I am being poured out as a libation over the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with all of you; in the same way also you should rejoice and rejoice together with me.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Harmony, balance, and rhythm.  They’re all the three things that stay with you your whole life.

Perhaps the seeds of redemption lay not just in perseverance, hard work, and rugged individualism.  Perhaps they lay in something more fundamental–the simple notion of everyone pitching in and pulling together.

Daniel James Brown (born 1951) is an American author.  He specializes in creating narrative nonfiction books.  The above quotes come from his book, The Boys in the Boat:  Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

The love of husband and wife is the force that welds society together.

From Matthew 19:4-6:  “He answered, ‘Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?  So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

John Chrysostom served the early Christian church during the late 4th century and early 5th century in Constantinople where he preached and was a prolific writer.
