Happy 14th Wedding Anniversary!

 

Happy 14th Wedding Anniversary!

I know this is a Bible study-themed page, but I want to celebrate my Biblically based marriage by saying, "Happy 14th Wedding Anniversary to my husband, Mel and me!" Our 14th Wedding Anniversary is tomorrow, June 10, but I am posting this now because we will be celebrating by packing a picnic lunch and taking it to the beach tomorrow.

God truly blessed me with my perfect match and soul mate. Thank you, Jesus for the blessing of marriage to my precious Mel!

In honor of our special day, here are two of the poems I have written for Mel:

My Knight

Surrounded by cold, grey walls,

With no window in sight,

Not seeing a way out,

And no light coming in,

Locked inside a dark, meaningless life;

Then I heard the lock clang to the ground,

The door opened,

Light flooded the room,

And Sir Melton entered;

The silver from his armor

Created an ethereal glow;

He held out his hand,

And I greedily took hold -

I knew this knight had come to rescue me;

There was strength in his grip,

Yet gentleness and love;

"I've been dreaming about you,"

He said with a melodious voice

That soaked into my soul;

I smiled with tear-filled eyes -

He had been the one from my dreams as well;

"Will you come with me?"

I nodded as we walked out the door;

All things were lovely and bright,

And as I gazed into his eyes,

My whole life became clear -

We could serve a purpose together,

I would follow my knight,

For he was a man of Godly character -

Brave, noble, decent, and loving -

Our love would be epic

As we served our Lord Jesus Christ,

Loved, adored, and cherished one another,

And strived to help others;

Ours would be a life of purity,

And I would never look back -

My knight had rescued me from despair,

Creating a life of hope and purpose,

We would live forever in each other's arms -

Happily ever after!

(Song of Solomon 3:4) I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go.

No Matter Where

There's no castle or mansion large enough,

That could hold my love for you.

There's no shack or doghouse small enough,

Where I wouldn't feel at peace with you.

There's no tropical island warm enough,

That could match the heat I feel for you,

There's no iceberg cold enough,

That could quench my fire for you.

There's no mountain high enough,

That could out-reach my love.

There's no ocean deep enough,

That could contain my love.

There's no place isolated enough,

Where I would feel lonely with you.

There's no place crowded enough,

That could keep me from feeling safe with you.

There's no place north or south enough,

No place east or west enough,

Where I would never cease to feel at home with you.

No matter where I am,

I am happy because you are by my side.

(Matthew 19:4-6) And [Jesus] answered and said unto them, "Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, 'For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?' Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
