MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN

Recently, in a North Carolina hospital, Doris and Sherwood, having been married 61 years, died only minutes apart while holding hands.*

In a Florida hospital, Bill and Esther, having been married 66 years, also died minutes apart. Their daughter said that “They were always, always together.”*

What a blessing— to have such beautiful marriages. And God always wants this for us!

Listen to one marriage in His word (from the Song of Solomon):
- “My beloved is mine, and I am his” (6:3). “May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For his love is better than wine” (1:2).
- “Most beautiful among women” (1:8). “Your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your mouth is lovely” (4:3).

How beautiful. And how exciting!

One passage says: “Enjoy life with your beloved wife during all the days of your fleeting life that God has given you on earth during all your fleeting days; for that is your reward in life and in your burdensome work on earth” (Ecclesiastes 9:9; NETBible).

God is and God helps.

Today, the sun shines! What a glorious sight to behold after all the snow we've received for days and days and days. Remember, the SON always shines!

GOLDEN APPLES

Someone (G. K. Chesterton) wrote that nursery tales “say that apples were golden only to refresh the forgotten moment when we found that they were red. They make rivers run with wine only to make us remember, for one wild moment, that they run with water.”

Apples are beautifully red. Rivers flow with swirling water. And life is wonderful…even in difficult times.

Thousands of years ago, a poet (King David) wrote to his God, “What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!” (Psalm 8:4-5)

There is more to life. You just have to look for it.

God is and God helps.
