Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Unconditional Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love opens up the heart
as sunshine does a flower
In the security of its arms
it enables and empowers
~
Love brings out the beauty
as the sun awakens day
It rejoices in what is lovely
revealing faith that has prayed
~
Love nourishes and builds up
as raindrops reaching roots
It’s steadfast through all seasons
believing the best and the truth
~
Love is not a fleeting feeling
but an action quite devout
It’s commitment and sacrifice
even when the fun’s run out.
~

In August, Ian and I will have been married for thirty years. I am full of thanksgiving to the Lord for being our strength and joy through the fun times and the difficult times. Life is not easy; however, the journey of life has truly been twice as nice shared with my best friend.
God has used marriage and parenthood to teach me what unconditional love is: staying the course even when it hurts. We’ve been blessed to have more ups than downs. Being totally committed is like having a rose garden arbor secured with cement rather than simply placing the posts, as is, into the earth. Our relationship is made Rock solid by both our faith and our focus – Jesus Christ is the Cornerstone of our marriage.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
