We
need each other
Because
good times and laughter
Are
never so sweet alone, as when they are shared.
And
others need to see us smile
We
need each other
Because
life can be lonely
And
life can be hard
But
it’s not quite so lonely or hard if someone stands beside us.
We
need each other
For
challenges and support and gaiety and nurturing and sympathy.
When
that last word on the crossword puzzle just doesn’t come to us.
When
silence is not golden,,, and when our heart is beating outside our chest with
excitement.
We
need each other
Because
we are made in God’s image
We
are made to love. We are made for relationship.
To
live out our lives together in the finite time we are given - while we have the
opportunity.
Today
I look at the photos of my parents, my children, my friends and family.
A
marked time in our lives put into a snapshot that brings back memories of
events in our lives.
Soon
there will be more photos with new additions to enjoy, but some will never have
another photo made.
Mingled
with those images are cherished memories of deep love along with sorrow and joy
and sweet anticipation.
A
blink of the eye and a life span is over and we are gone from this earth. Yet we continue on.
And
what matters most is captured not in the pictures there, but in our hearts
forever.
And He said to him,
"You shall love the
LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your mind.
This is the great and
foremost commandment.
The second is like it, you
shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments
depend the whole law and the prophets.
(Matthew 22:37-40, NASB)
I read this at Amanda and Denny's wedding reception
