I have been thinking a lot about Love and Marriage. I have been thinking about the differences between marriage back in the day and today.
Marriage used to be a committment that was NEVER broken no matter what. People loved each other unconditionally and unselfishly. I think that might be the problem. SELFISHNESS. We can't seem to get past our own needs and wants to look at someone else, even if that someone is our husband/wife.
I grew up in a home that was not perfect. My parents were not perfect and they had problems, but they LOVED each other unselfishly and unconditionally. They taught thier children to love unselfishly and unconditionally. I remember as a child, and all my life, my dad would play his guitar and sing this love song to my mom and I believe he meant every word. It has become my favorite memory of my dad. We sang it at his funeral.
I will leave you with the words and if I have enough nerve I will put a video of me singing it.
Yours Love
May the fruit of my toil
Be yours love
May the food of my soil
Be yours love
And from this moment on may a love that is strong and lives on and on
Be yours love
May the sons that I raise
Be yours love
May the comforts I praise
Be yours love
And ever I get weak may the love words I speak and the arms that I seek
Be yours love
May the Lord's shining grace
Be yours love
May the happiest face
Be yours love
And may the last fingertips that touch these two lips as life from me slips
Be yours love

Oh, that's so beautiful! What a wonderful memory of your parents! I have to say amen to this post! By the way, if it's not too much trouble, I would like to borrow that message from Bro Graham. Missed you today!

This is a link to it on my husband's website. If you would like I can bring you a copy on Wednesday. I am sick or I would bring you a copy tonight at church.
We missed you hope you are better soon! I love the song your dad sang to your mother. Yes we must here the tune someday!!!
Well, I got to the website, but I couldn't download the message, so if you could bring me a copy when you have time I would really appreciate it! I'm so sorry you have been sick, hope you are feeling better!
Okay, never mind! I figured out how to download the message! I can't wait to listen to it during nap time. Thanks for the website, there's a couple other messages I think I might download too! See you Wednesday!
