Day of Love

Our home has been invaded once again by the stomach flu, so it's not a super-duper romantic type of holiday here.  The kids have (so far) avoided it, but Rich and I were hit again...unfortunately.

But today I am thinking about marriage.
I'm thinking about love, and the people in my life who have set a darn good example of what love and marriage is.

That it's not just a feeling...but a commitment to action.
That it's not easy...and sometimes really, really hard.
That it's a journey..one that sometimes doesn't end with roses and butterflies.

My heart is full when I think of these outstanding examples of love.  I am blessed to have known them, to have spent time with them, to have been ministered to by them.  I have shared tears with them, and watched their amazing journey.  Prayed for them, and with them.  Loved them.

And I am so, so, so, SOOO grateful to have had them in my life.  In OUR life, because it is so much richer with their examples, and their faith in a God whose ways are not always understood, and their examples of how to do love and marriage right.
