Gratitude - M

Marriage:  Lately, I've thought about the sacredness of marriage ~ especially eternal marriage ordained of God.  For this doctrine of Marriage I am grateful.

 Today I'm teaching in YWs about Marriage Standards and I came across this poem 'Because' which describes my emotions about my eternal marriage with the Love of my Life!

Because you come to me with naught save love,
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
A wider world of hope and joy I see,
Because you come to me.
Because you speak to me in accents sweet,
I find the roses waking round my feet,
And I am led through tears and joy to thee,
Because you speak to me.
Because God made thee mine, I’ll cherish thee
Through light and darkness, through all time to be,
And pray His love may make our love divine,
Because God made thee mine.

“Because,” words by Edward Teschemacher (1902).



And of course we can't forget Mighty Maxwell. He is a marvelous joy in my life.

That poem is wonderful but not nearly as beautiful as you guys in your wedding picture, you look radiant!
