A BRIDE's LETTER

A bride read this letter to her husband on their wedding day.

 

'I am only right here and right now because you could see all that God created me to be and all

that I will be because of your immense love for me.

You are:

•the most patient

•the most considerate

•the most compassionate

•the most kindest

And above all the most forgiving human being I have ever come to know.

Your perseverance, persistence and patience combined with the belief that I would be completely yours one day has come to fruition.

I don’t know of any other man that would have lasted this kind of waiting period apart from my father.

You have won my heart and now I am yours completely.

You bring me security, inspiration and encouragement. Because of your love I can stand confident.

Your faith, hope and love transcends beyond this world and I now can say have had a glimpse of heaven.

Because of you by my side now my life is so fulfilled and complete.

You are Amazing!

You are my King Solomon.

A man who is a limitless visionary! A man who knows what he believes in and what he

stands for. And because you know where you are going I want to go with you right by your side no matter
what life throws at us.

I will never falter in giving you honour, love and respect. I will hold you and carry you for the rest of my life until my dying breath.

I truly love you!'

A CHERISHING KIND of LOVE

Dressed up for a friend's wedding

CHERISH: to hold dear :to feel or show affection for :to cultivate with care :to appreciate :to nurture.

This is a lovely word.

My husband and I have a little saying, "If we don't cherish each other who will?"

We have been married for many years and have grown so close to each other. This is for many reasons.

We appreciate each others' differences. We respect and build up each other. We are kind to each other. And invariably when we have disagreements, as all couples do, we make sure to ask each others' forgiveness when we have been wrong.

These deliberate actions cement the bonds of marriage in ways that passion alone never could. Most of all we have discovered that the closer we get to God the closer we come to each other and the more love continues to grow.

The Holy Bible sums this up beautifully. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always, protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.(I Corinthians, chapter 13.)

Cherish your loved ones ... you won't have them forever.
